Gadolinium-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...
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 کاملMagnetic resonance imaging of systemic venous anomalies.
Seven cases of anomalous development of the systemic great veins were found in the first 18 months of adult body imaging with a 0.15 T resistive magnetic resonance unit. Comparison was made with CT. In most cases, CT and MRI were equivalent in demonstrating the abnormality. In one case, MRI was superior to a drip-infusion CT. MRI was less successful when the low signal abnormal vein was adjacen...
متن کاملThree-dimensional contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance pulmonary angiography in the study of pulmonary vascular pathology.
OBJECTIVES To assess the feasibility of performing pulmonary angiography using MRI with contrast enhancement in patients with pulmonary vascular disease. METHODS We present our experience in ten individuals, two controls and eight patients who underwent the exam after injection of a gadolinium-based contrast agent on a 1 Tesla MR scanner using a time-of-flight sequence and breath-holding duri...
متن کاملUltrafast three-dimensional contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography and imaging in the diagnosis of partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of our study was to evaluate patients with suspected anomalous pulmonary veins (APVs) and atrial septal defects (ASDs) using fast cine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrafast three-dimensional magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). BACKGROUND Precise anatomic definition of anomalous pulmonary and systemic veins, and the atrial septum are prerequisites for surgical...
