MDCT Angiography in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Treated with Endovascular Repair: Diagnostic Impact of Slice Thickness on Detection of Endoleaks

¹ All authors: Department of Clinical Science and Bioimaging, Section of Radiology, University "G. D'Annunzio," Chieti, via dei Vestini, Chieti, Italy.

View larger version (125K): [in this window] [in a new window] [as a PowerPoint slide]   Fig. 1A —67-year-old man treated with endovascular aneurysm repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm. Axial contrast-enhanced images obtained with 1-mm (A) and 3-mm (B) collimation allow detection of small endoleak (arrows) beyond graft, as confirmed by standard of reference.

Axial contrast-enhanced images obtained with 1-mm (A) and 3-mm (B) collimation allow detection of small endoleak (arrows) beyond graft, as confirmed by standard of reference.

Axial contrast-enhanced image obtained with 5-mm collimation was incorrectly interpreted as negative for endoleak (score of 1, false-negative).

Axial contrast-enhanced images obtained with collimation of 1 (A), 3 (B), and 5 (C) mm. Medium-sized endoleak (arrows) was easily detected on images. Finding was confirmed by standard of reference (true-positive).
