- Saghir likes to start by going cranial on axial view to see bottom portion of heart and descending aorta
- Next, Saghir likes to look at the sagittal views → review the vessels (e.g., celiac, SMA, IMA, etc.) branching off of the aorta. Any pinching?
- Renal arteries
- Can see as many as 4 renal arteries on either side
- Go down each leg and evaluate
- Look for 3-vessel runoff
- e.g. one-vessel runoff to the foot with occluded anterior and posterior tibial arteries; two-vessel runoff to the left foot with an occluded posterior tibial artery and a diminutive anterior tibial artery.
