Imaging of abdominal congenital vascular anomalies in dogs and cats

This article provides a comprehensive overview of congenital vascular anomalies in the abdomen of dogs and cats, focusing primarily on portosystemic shunts (PSS) and arterioportal communications. These anomalies, though uncommon, are clinically significant and often present in young animals with symptoms such as poor growth, gastrointestinal issues and neurological signs due to toxins bypassing the […]

CT coronary angiography for the interventional cardiologist

Atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the leading cause of death in the UK. As part of the National Service Framework for Coronary Heart Disease introduced in 2000, rapid access clinics have been set up for early diagnosis and treatment of cardiac chest pain. While invasive coronary angiography (ICA) remains the gold standard for the […]

Coronary computed tomography angiography – getting the basics right

Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a non-invasive cardiovascular imaging modality that provides isotropic resolution of the coronary arteries and associated cardiac anatomy. The new generation of state-of-the-art cardiac-enabled CT scanners offers sub-millimetre spatial resolution of the coronary vasculature, allowing clinicians to detect the presence of coronary artery plaque with high sensitivity. The National Institute […]

Functional assessment of coronary artery disease by cardiac computed tomography

Computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) has become an established non-invasive test for the detection of coronary artery disease (CAD). Recently, outcome data and insights into the diagnosis and management of patients with stable chest pain have been provided by two important clinical trials, The Prospective Multicenter Imaging Study for Evaluation of Chest Pain (PROMISE) and […]

Aortic arch branch vessel angiography and stenting

Clinically significant upper limb vascular disease is much less common than that affecting the lower limbs. In fact asymptomatic upper limb occlusive disease may be discovered incidentally. This is often the case when a different blood pressure reading is found for the left and right arms, usually at a time of chest pain, where a […]

Cardiac CT acquisition in more complex patients – the role of the radiologist

As CT scanners are replaced across the country, radiologists are increasingly intrigued by the technological capabilities of even entry level 64 detector row CT scanners, in particular coronary CT angiography (CCTA). Unlike most CT examinations that can be protocol driven and independently acquired by radiographers on an unsupervised list, cardiac CT sessions in the peripheral […]

Coronary artery CT in the emergency department

Chest pain is an extremely common symptom and results in around 700,000 (5%) presentations to the emergency department (ED) in England and Wales and accounts for 25% of hospital admissions. However, only a minority of these patients (8%) actually have acute coronary syndrome (ACS), which is the umbrella term for acute chest pain due to […]
