THEME: EVALUATION OF THE TECHNIQUE OF PERFORMING ANGIO-SCANNING AT CHME LUXEMBOURG

Objectives :Evaluate the technique of performingangio-scanning at CHME Luxembourg. Methodology: This is a 2-month prospective and descriptive studyfrom April 1 to May 31, 2021. Any patient presenting an examination bulletin sent to the imagingdepartment for angio-CT and havingagreed to participate in ourstudy. Results:Duringourstudyperiod, 1025 CT scans wereperformed, amongwhichwefound 78 angio-CT scans, representing a frequency of 7.60%. Among the 78 cases of CT angioperformed, weidentified 61 angio-thoracic (78.20%), 7 lowerlimbangio (7.90%), 5 thoraco-abdominopelvicangio-CT (6.40%). , 3 cerebral CT angio-CT (3.80%) 1 CT angiogram of the upperlimbs and the aortawith a frequency of 1.30% each. The averageage of our patients was 57 yearswithextremes of 1 month (born) and 82 years. The femalegenderwas the mostrepresentedwith 53%. Dyspnea and chest pain were the mostcommonclinicalfindings. Meglumineioxitalamate (Télébrix*) was the mostusediodinatedcontrastproductwith 65.4%. The average flow rate was 3.92 ml/s in ourstudy. The average value of Dose-Length-Product (DLP) per acquisition was 353.79 mGy.cm withextreme values ​​of 91 to 775mGy.cm. Hot flashes were the mostfrequentlyencounteredsideeffect in our patients with a frequency of 26.9%. Among the angio-TTDM performed, 80.8% of ourexaminationscorresponded to the successcriteria Conclusion: The CT angiography technique remains the gold technique for the exploration of veins and arteries.
