Spectral computed tomography angiography using a gadolinium-based contrast agent for imaging of pathologies of the aorta

ConclusionsTo conclude, our study showed that Gd-CTA is a valid and reliable alternative for diagnostic imaging of the aorta for clinical applications. Monoenergetic reconstructions of computed tomography angiographies using gadolinium based contrast agents may be a useful alternative in patients with aortic aneurysms and contraindications for iodine based contrast agents.
