Contrast-enhanced MR angiography of the carotid and vertebrobasilar circulations.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Contrast-enhanced MR angiography (CE MRA) is a proven diagnostic tool in evaluation of the carotid arteries; however, few studies have addressed its accuracy in the vertebrobasilar system. The purpose of this study was to assess the sensitivity and specificity of CE MRA compared with digital subtraction angiography (DSA) for detection of vertebrobasilar disease. METHODS...
متن کاملContrast-Enhanced MR Angiography
Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is increasingly used to evaluate arterial and venous diseases. Although the resolution of MRA is not as high as that of conventional angiography, it is sufficient to evaluate pathologic conditions in the larger vascular structures of most parts of the body. It is especially useful in patients who cannot tolerate the risks of iodinated contrast agents or arte...
متن کاملContrast-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 کاملNon-contrast-enhanced Whole-body MR angiography
INTRODUCTION Vascular diseases typically affect the entire arterial systems, from the intracranial down to the pedal vessels. However, it is not easy to evaluate the whole-body vascular systems noninvasively within a reasonable time. Up until now, many non-contrast-enhanced MR angiography (MRA) methods have been developed based on variable principles or MR phenomena; then select the appropriate...
متن کاملNon-contrast enhanced MR angiography: physical principles.
Noncontrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (NCE-MRA) methods have been demonstrated in anatomies throughout the body. Previously established NCE-MRA techniques suffered from long scan times or low sensitivity. Advances in hardware and software have made NCE-MRA scan times clinically feasible. Recent concerns over the safety of gadolinium-based contrast material combined with the expens...
