Dual-Phase 3D CT Angiography During a Single Breath-Hold Using 16-MDCT: Assessment of Vascular Anatomy Before Laparoscopic Gastrectomy

Abstract

Dual-phase 3D CTA using 16-MDCT clearly revealed individual arteries and veins around the stomach before laparoscopic gastrectomy. The fused image of 3D CT arteriography and venography during a single breath-hold enabled the simultaneous assessment of arteries and veins before laparoscopic gastrectomy.
