Gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography for detection of acute pulmonary embolism: an in-depth review.
STUDY OBJECTIVE To review the published experience with gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) for the detection of acute pulmonary embolism (PE) in order to test the hypothesis that gadolinium-enhanced MRA may be potentially sensitive and specific enough to include it among diagnostic alternatives in the evaluation of patients with suspected PE. METHODS Studies were identif...
متن کاملThree-dimensional gadolinium-enhanced coronary magnetic resonance angiography: initial experience.
We present our initial experience on first-pass gadolinium-enhanced coronary artery magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). Three-dimensional segmented gradient-echo sequences were developed to image coronary arteries within a single breathhold during the injection of a double-dose contrast agent. Comparisons were made between a short TR of 2.7-msec (n = 5) and a long TR of 5.0-msec (n = 3) seque...
متن کاملGadolinium-enhanced 3D magnetic resonance angiography of the thoracic vessels.
MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING has long been recognized as a useful tool for the non-invasive evaluation of the thoracic vasculature. Unlike computed tomography and conventional angiography, MRI is not associated with the concerns related to ionizing radiation exposure or to contrast-related nephrotoxicity. MRI is also capable of oblique image acquisition and multiplanar reformation, which aids the...
متن کاملGadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography in brain death
Confirmatory tests for the diagnosis of brain death in addition to clinical findings may shorten observation time required in some countries and may add certainty to the diagnosis under specific circumstances. The practicability of Gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography to confirm cerebral circulatory arrest was assessed after the diagnosis of brain death in 15 patients using a 1.5 ...
متن کاملGadolinium-enhanced three-dimensional magnetic resonance angiography of pulmonary and systemic venous anomalies.
OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of gadolinium (Gd)-enhanced three-dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) in patients with congenital and acquired anomalies of the pulmonary and systemic veins. BACKGROUND Gadolinium-enhanced 3D MRA is a fast magnetic resonance imaging technique that has shown great promise in the evaluation of large and medi...
