Summary : Peripheral arterial occlusive disease is a common pathology, associated with a significant morbidity. Conventional angiography has long served as the imaging modality of choice before revascularisation procedures. Angiography, although less invasive than in the past tends to be replaced nowadays by noninvasive modalities (Multidetector CT Angiography and Magnetic Resonance Angiography) to plan revascularisation procedures. After acquisition, data can be postprocessed to generate images that are similar to conventional angiography. Moreover, these 3D techniques allow a study of the vascular wall and its environment \; this constitutes an advantage compared to angiography for the study of peripheral arterial occlusive disease before and after revascularisation, as well as for other arterial pathologies (aneurysmal disease, popliteal entrapment and cystic adventitial disease). |
