Angiographic examination of lower limb arteries using CT and MR.
BICAN, Václav
Angiographic examination of arteries of lower extremities by CT and MR methods. At present, CT and MR are frequently applied methods in the diagnostics of diseases affecting the arteries of lower extremities (LE). These are mini-invasive examination methods, replacing in the Hospital of Písek, a.s. the invasive DAS examination method. At present, the disease of arteries of lower extremities is one of the frequent indications bringing the patients with certain problems limiting him in the usual life and endangering his life in case of the present pathology without surgical treatment, to the CT and MR workplaces. In this thesis, I deal with advantages of the performance of the angiographic examination of the arteries of lower extremities by the method of the computer tomography and magnetic resonance at the radio-diagnostic ward of the Hospital of Písek, a.s. from the viewpoint of time demands, price of examination, processing and evaluating the acquired data. In the theoretical part, I describe shortly the anatomy of the arteries of lower extremities and their diseases bringing the patient to CT or MR workplaces for the performance of AG examination. The application of KL i.v. the characteristics, indications and contraindications of which are also included in this part is closely connected with AG examination. Last but not least I describe CT and MR theory. In the practical part, I deal with materials associated with the necessary appliances and computer equipment of the CT and MR workplace of the Hospital in Písek, a.s.. It is followed by the description of the performance of AG examination of the arteries of LE by Toshiba Aquilion at CT workplace and by Toshiba Excelart Vantage 1,5T at MR workplace. The result of work is the comparison of the applied amount of KL between CT and MR examination methods, financial demands of the KL applied into the blood stream and the price of the completed examination after KL application. Another task was the comparison of time demands of both examinations; I came to the satisfactory result proving the advantages of the CT examination method. Thanks to opinions acquired from two independent physicians I came to the conclusion that CT examination is more advantageous in the sense of processing and evaluation of the acquired data than the MR examination.
