Dear Schlomit,
Catching up on messages.
I only do MRA plus MRN (not CTA) Can send protocol if you may like
Arms up and down- 3D STIR x2 and split bolus for Gd.
Arterial narrowing / venous stenosis is secondary evidence- u can see nerve kinks plus vasc narrowing with combo protocol.
Best!

Hi all,
Question for the group please.
For thoracic outlet syndrome (neurogenic vs arterial) CTA workup, do you image with the affected arm down or up? Both? Do you do any split dosing, just time off the aorta, or use a standard time delay?
Thanks,
Shlomit
