Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is a popular surgical procedure for patients with carotid artery stenosis. Before performing CEA, radiologic information about carotid artery stenosis must be obtained using three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography angiography (CTA). However, it is difficult to perform 3D-CTA in patients with renal dysfunction and an allergy to contrast medium. To solve this problem, 3D fusion images (3D-FI) with magnetic resonance angiography and 3D computed tomography are created. In this report, we describe the utility of 3D-FI.
颈动脉内膜切除术（CEA）是治疗颈动脉狭窄患者的一种常用外科手术。在进行CEA之前，必须使用三维（3D）计算机断层血管造影（CTA）获取有关颈动脉狭窄的放射学信息。然而，对于肾功能不全且对造影剂过敏的患者，很难进行3D-CTA检查。为了解决这个问题，利用磁共振血管造影和3D计算机断层扫描创建了3D融合图像（3D-FI）。在本报告中，我们描述了3D-FI的实用性。
