Preoperative angiography is frequently used in the planning of microsurgical reconstruction for identification of vascular abnormality that influence the planning of operation. But, recently 3D CT angiography is considered as new technique that can provide detailed information about vascular anatomy as well as soft and bony tissue without the risks of invasive angiography. 3D CT angiograms were performed in 19 patients before microsurgical reconstruction for the lower extremity and hand between May of 2003 and Oct of 2004. Sixteen of the studies were of the donor site and all of 19 studies were of the recipient site. No complications were found from the 3D CT angiograms. In one case of the bone exposed open wound, the injury of anterior tibial artery was identified and the zone of injury was adequately demonstrated. With the improvement in quality of CT imaging, 3D CT angiograms may provide a favorable alternative to invasive angiography. It is capable of providing high-resolution, three dimensional vascular imaging without the need for arterial puncture and prolonged post-procedure observation. The relation among blood vessels, bones, and soft tissue is well demonstrated in 3D CT angiogram. Also The acquisition time and examination cost were considerably lower in comparison with invasive angiography. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that 3D CT angiography may provide accurate, safe, and cost-effective preoperative imaging. The 3D CT angiography with relatively low morbidity, low cost, ease of image acquisition can have an broader role in microsurgical reconstructive surgery.

Purpose : Fixed way of mAs previously Low Extremity Computed Tomography Angiography(LECTA) examination were used. Automatic Current Selection(ACS) to use for the purpose of reducing the dose when Low Extremity Computed Tomography Angiography examining patients. Materials and methods : Were analyzed from July 2011 to July 2012 MDCT examination of Dose Length Product(DLP) LECTA 116 Case. It was defined as previous inspection methods(Old protocol). CT workstation is set to 100 mAs and 150 mAs protocol based on the patient's weight 70kg examined by LECTA. We defined as 'New protocol' that applies to ACS. The data collection period are 76 cases from October 2012 to January 2013 Results : 1. Average Total DLP of 'Old protocol' is 3602.943 $mGy^*cm$. 2. Average Total DLP of 'New protocol' is 1762.977 $mGy^*cm$. 3. Due to the 'New Protocol' use of Total DLP was reduced by approximately 51 %. Phase-specific dose reduction is as follows. Pre(33.62 %), Artery(64.63 %), Delay(49.0 %) 4. Using One way ANOVA Analysis of fluctuations obtained DLP is as follows. 'Old protocol', 'New protocol' a value of P < 0.001, P = 0.882 values were obtained. Conclusions : Dose reduction of 51 % is a useful study that proves. The results obtained using the ACS, the effects of a dose reduction of 51 % was obtained. Therefore, it has been proven to be a useful way. Statistics using SPSS version came out of the 'Old protocol' P-value P < 0.0001. This result means that the DLP a large difference values. On the other hand, The results of the 'New protocol' was P = 0.882. These results means to that small and regularly was fluctuations of the dose. The use of ACS, you can get a reduction of the dose and will able to get the effect of reducing the dose errors.

말초동맥질환은 고령의 환자들에게서 흔하게 발생하며, 하지 동맥 단층촬영 혈관조영술은 말초동맥질환을 발견하고 치료 계획을 세우는데 유용하다. 특히, 이중에너지 단층 촬영을 통해 낮은 kiloelectron volt (이하 KeV) 영상부터 높은 KeV 영상까지 단일 에너지 영상을 재구성하면, 말초동맥질환을 정확하게 평가하는데 도움이 된다. 일반적으로 낮은 KeV 영상은 높은 대조도를 제공해 주지만, 낮은 KeV 영상은 높은 KeV 영상보다 더 심한 잡음을 제공한다는 단점도 있다. 최근에 낮은 KeV 영상에서 잡음을 극복하기 위해 Mono+ 기술이 도입되었다. 따라서, 본 임상 화보에서는 Mono+ 기법으로 시행한 하지동맥 단층촬영 혈관조영술에서의 말초동맥질환의 영상 소견을 보여주며 낮은 KeV 영상과 높은 KeV 영상의 특성이 어떻게 다른지 비교하여 보여주고자 한다. 많은 사례에서, 전체적인 영상의 질과 말초동맥질환을 평가하고자 하는 구간에서의 영상의 질은 모두 높은 KeV에서 더 좋았고, 금속 인공물과 정맥 오염은 높은 KeV 영상에서 감소했다.
