Abstract
Arterial phase contrast studies, in particular when combined with multi-detector row CT capabilities, provide a highly useful diagnostic imaging tool for the evaluation of a multitude of vascular pathologies. In this chapter, we review in brief the epidemiology of several important angiographic diagnoses, and the clinical relevancy of the pathophysiology underlying these clinical entities.
