A. Thoracic and abdominal aorta
S.D. Qanadli; Lausanne/CH
Learning Objectives:
1. To understand the principles underlying CTA and MRA of the aorta.
2. To understand how to optimise the image quality for clinical indications including how to adjust CT scan
acquisition parameters and iodinated contrast media injection parameters for CTA, and how to choose
coil and type of sequences for MRA.
3. To learn basics of post-processing methods and their potential applications.
4. To review and update investigation strategy in patients with aortic diseases and defi ne the role and protocols of
CTA and MRA for common aortic diseases.

T. Leiner; Maastricht/NL
Learning Objectives:
1. To understand when imaging is indicated in the workup of lower extremity peripheral arterial occlusive
disease.
2. To understand the relative strengths and weaknesses of different non-invasive imaging modalities that are
used in the workup of lower extremity peripheral arterial occlusive disease.
3. To describe basic imaging protocol requirements for MRA, CTA and duplex ultrasonography as applied to
patients with lower extremity peripheral arterial occlusive disease.
4. To describe common pitfalls of MRA, CTA and duplex ultrasonography as applied to lower extremity
peripheral arterial occlusive disease.
