The feasibility of low iodine dynamic CT angiography with test bolus for evaluation of lower extremity peripheral artery disease.

Low iodine dynamic computed tomography angiography with test bolus acquisition has a high concordance with routine peripheral computed tomography angiography performed with standard iodine dose, resulting in improved run-off to the ankle compared to dynamic computed tomography angiography performed after a fixed delay. This method is useful for minimizing iodine dose in patients at risk for contrast-induced nephropathy. 4D volume-rendered computed tomography angiography images provide useful dynamic information.
