3-mm CT slices best for endovascular repair of AAA
(Radiology Review) Multidetector-row CT (MDCT) of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) treated with endovascular repair is best performed using 3-mm-thick images, according to a report in the December issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology. Researchers from Italy compared the sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive values of different slice thicknesses for detecting endoleaks with MDCT.
