Description
Wenming Zhang and colleagues evaluated a gentler CT angiography method in 2026 for checking dialysis access in the arm. Patients on haemodialysis often need repeat scans of their fistula or graft, and standard scans bring heavy radiation and dye loads.
One hundred and two patients with suspected access problems were randomly assigned to routine-dose scanning or a low-dose version using less dye and an AI image rebuilding method. Image quality and readings were compared, and 44 patients also had the reference dye test through a catheter. A reliable low-dose option would ease the burden on patients who face these scans again and again.
