T2  - Peripheral Arterial Disease
AB  - Imaging  modalities  for  peripheral  arterial  disease  (PAD)  cover  the  gamut  from  to  noninvasive  approaches  to  invasive  digital  subtraction  angiography  (DSA),  which  historically  has  been  the  reference  standard.  The  advent  of  percutaneous  revascularization  has  seen  shift  in  imaging  strategies  to  predominantly  noninvasive  approaches  that  can  provide  adequate  visualization  of  arterial  stenoses  to  allow  accurate  treatment  planning.  Because  of  the  arterial  puncture,  DSA  requires  postprocedural  monitoring  and  has  a  2%  to  3%  major  complication  rate.1,2  The  advent  of  computed  tomography  (CT)  and  magnetic  resonance  angiography  (MRA)  has  relegated  DSA  to  an  adjunctive  role  that  may  occasionally  be  required  in  some  patients  at  the  time  of  percutaneous  revascularization.  In  this  chapter,  we  will  discuss  the  application  of  CT  technology  for  the  diagnosis  of  vascular  disease  in  the  specific  vascular  beds  (extremities,  extracranial  vasculature,  and  thoracic  and  abdominal  aorta).
