N2 - Advanced CT scanners produce highresolution datasets. With the use of image post-processing tools reconstructions are made in any direction and three-dimensional models are generated for time-effective image analysis. Because of the noninvasive character of CTA and high-resolution images, CTA has become the diagnostic method of choice in peripheral artery disease. Overall, this results in an increased exposure to radiation and a higher incidence of allergic and contrast induced nephrotoxic reactions. By adjusting, the acquisition parameters on a patient to patient basis specific protocols can be created reducing radiation and contrast exposure without compromising image quality.
