متن کاملAn aortocaval fistula diagnosed with 1.5-T magnetic resonance angiography.
We report a case of aortocaval fistula demonstrated with gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) angiography. Specific radiographic features of this rare complication, such as early and intense enhancement of the inferior vena cava, are underlined with MR imaging. The exact location of the fistula can also be assessed with this noninvasive imaging technique. Moreover, the absence of iodinat...

متن کاملRadionuclide cerebral angiography in diagnosis and evaluation of carotid-cavernous fistula.
The standard method of diagnosing and evaluating carotid—cavernous fistulas has been x-ray cerebral angiography using contrast media (1—9).However, improvements in nuclear medicine techniques in recent years have provided the ability to perform radionuclide cerebral angiography with a high de gree of accuracy (10—15). It is a benign procedure that does not require catheterization or radio...
