简介
Purpose
To compare the volume rendering (VR) and maximum intensity projection (MIP) computed tomography angiography (CTA) techniques using multidetector-row CT for hepatic artery evaluation of potential donors for living donor liver transplantation (LDLT).
Method
Over a 9-month period, CTA using multidetector-row CT and conventional angiography was performed in 62 consecutive potential donors for LDLT. Acquisition of arterial phase scans was initiated within 5 seconds after reaching enhancement of the descending aorta up to 70 HU as measured by a bolus-tracking technique (collimation= 1.25 mm, table speed= 7.5 mm, reconstruction interval= 0.625 mm). Postprocessing was performed on a commercially available workstation. Computed tomography angiography images of the hepatic artery were made using the VR and MIP techniques. A total of 10 to 30 images of various planes were generated to …
