Popis: Computed tomographic arteriography (CTA) has emerged as a promising technique for less invasive imaging of the lower extremity arteries. The aim of this study was to determine the concordance between CTA and catheter arteriography (CA) in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Twenty-five patients underwent both CTA and CA, and each set of images was interpreted independently by 3 readers. The infrarenal arteries were divided into 16 segments, and each segment was scored as: 1 = stenosis
