MSHCT allows for long coverage with high spatial resolution. Scanning of the thoracic and abdominal aorta as well as the arteries in the pelvis and legs can be done with just one scan and thus one injection of contrast media. Since the slice width can be kept narrow, all parts of the vascular tree can be depicted with high spatial resolution.
