Abstract:
Head and neck computed tomography angiography(CTA)has the advantages of minimally invasive,rapid and repeatable,and it's currently the preferred imaging modality for visualizing the vascular a-natomy of the head and neck,as well as diagnosing vascular lesions in this region and their associations with neighboring structures.At present,the medical institutions at different levels are diversified in equipment,and there are great differences in inspection techniques and methods,leading to significant variations in examina-tion techniques and methods,even with the same type of equipment,there are some differences between medi-cal institutions in terms of operation specifications,inspection procedures and image post-processing.Hence,the Imaging Technology Branch of the Chongqing Municipal Medical Association organized the relevant ex-perts,by combining with literatures and clinical practice experience,to form this consensus,aiming at stand-ardizing CTA examination techniques for head and neck and improving image quality.The consensus mainly includes pre-inspection preparation,inspection operation specifications,image quality control standards,and the application of artificial intelligence in head and neck CTA imaging.
