Imaging plays a key role in the workup of patients with clinically suspected fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD), and research has highlighted the potential of computed tomography angiography (CTA) in screening for thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic arterial abnormalities in these patients. We sought to evaluate imaging findings from patients with suspected or diagnosed FMD who underwent screening CTA at our institution with a novel single-acquisition protocol that offers increased anatomic coverage, with images obtained from the skull vertex to the pelvis.
