Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography carotid arteries.
Angiography Carotid Arteries To the Editor: We were very interested to read the recent study by Johnston et al1 regarding the use of contrast-enhanced MRA (CEMRA) for carotid stenosis. The authors correctly highlight in their introduction the limitations of many current studies of noninvasive tests. We, however, remain to be convinced that their own study is an adequate reflection of the perfor...
متن کاملContrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Angiography of Carotid Arteries
Background and Purpose—Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (CEMRA) is among the newer noninvasive tests used for the evaluation of patients with carotid artery disease. Evidence supporting its utility in routine clinical practice is lacking. Methods—The results of CEMRA were compared with those of catheter angiography in 50 consecutive patients being evaluated for carotid endartere...
متن کاملContrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography.
With technological advances in magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), spatial resolution of 1-mm perforating vessels can reliably be visualized and accurately located in reference to patients' anatomic landmarks without exposing patients to ionizing radiation or iodinated contrast, resulting in optimal perforator selection, improved flap design, and increased surgical efficiency. As their experi...

متن کاملComparison of different techniques for non-contrast –enhanced and contrast-enhanced Magnetic Resonance Angiography of the Carotid arteries
Purpose: Since the introduction of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in clinical routine vascular imaging always has been a challenge. Early MR angiography (MRA) techniques were based on intrinsic contrast mechanisms related to blood (non CE techniques). The development of contrast enhanced (CE) MRA techniques using gadolinium based contrast agents (GBCA) substantially changed vascular MR applic...
