Imaging of Visceral Vessels
Radiol Clin North Am. 2024 May;62(3):543-557. doi: 10.1016/j.rcl.2023.12.003. Epub 2024 Feb 13.ABSTRACTThe visceral vasculature is inextricably intertwined with abdominopelvic disease staging, spread, and management in routine and emergent cases. Comprehensive evaluation requires specialized imaging techniques for abnormality detection and characterization. Vascular pathology is often encountered on nondedicated routine imaging examinations, which may obscure, mimic, or confound many vascular diagnoses. This review highlights normal arterial, portal venous, and systemic venous anatomy and clinically relevant variants; diag...

Cardiac Computed Tomography of Native Cardiac Valves
Radiol Clin North Am. 2024 May;62(3):399-417. doi: 10.1016/j.rcl.2023.12.004. Epub 2024 Jan 29.ABSTRACTValvular heart disease (VHD) is a significant clinical problem associated with high morbidity and mortality. Although not being the primary imaging modality in VHD, cardiac computed tomography (CCT) provides relevant information about its morphology, function, severity grading, and adverse cardiac remodeling assessment. Aortic valve calcification quantification is necessary for grading severity in cases of low-flow/low-gradient aortic stenosis. Moreover, CCT details significant information necessary for adequate percutane...
