Aortoiliac CT angiography

Angio-TC aorto-ilíaco

A non-invasive diagnostic test that involves examining the iliac arteries and abdominal aorta, obtaining high-definition anatomical images using CT (computed tomography) equipment and iodinated contrast dye. With the aid of workstations specialised for arterial studies, the image quality supports 2D and 3D reconstructions. This test is particularly recommended as a pre-surgical study (vascular map) prior to percutaneous or surgical interventions on the abdominal aorta, as a complementary study in patients with lower limb ischaemia, etc.
