| Research Abstract |
Accurate localization of the artery of Adamkiewicz (AKA)is important in planning treatment of patients with thoracoabdominal aortic disease. We assessed the usefulness of three-dimensional imaging devices such as multi-detector-row helical computed tomography (MDCT)and 3 Tesla (T)MRI in the preoperative evaluation of the artery of Adamkiewicz (AKA)and its parent artery. 3T-MRA was also performed in patients whose AKA was difficult to visualize because of artifact from bony structures.
