A 43-year-old female patient, suffering from swelling and pain in the left arm for the past month, came to the hospital for a checkup. She had undergone arteriovenous graft (AVG) surgery on her left arm, for hemodialysis treatment, a year ago. A Dual Energy (DE) CT angiography (CTA) was performed to evaluate the patency of the AVG.

The outcomes by Siemens Healthineers customers described herein are based on results that were achieved in the customer’s unique setting. Since there is no “typical” hospital and many variables exist (e.g., hospital size, case mix, level of IT adoption) there can be no guarantee that other customers will achieve the same results.
