The advent of contrast-enhanced MRA in the early to mid 1990s revolutionized the clinical approach to vascular imaging: an accurate non-invasive imaging modality, not requiring ionizing radiation
or potentially nephrotoxic iodinated contrast media, was able to
compete with the more hazardous and invasive catheter angiography.
Today, MRA is a safe, easy-to-perform procedure routinely used in most imaging
centers and the continued development of faster, more powerful magnets
and more effective contrast agents is increasingly helping to overcome
many of the early limitations of the technique. Subdivided into three
sections (technique, indications and practical applications)
and written by internationally renowned experts in the field, this
volume stands out in the current literature on MRA by providing: ·
detailed information on sequence parameters for different magnets and
vascular territories for the optimization of the MRA technique; · a
broad overview of the principal indications for which contrast-enhanced
MR angiography is ideally suited; · the typical MR imaging
findings associated with various pathologies; · the appropriateness of
contrast-enhanced MRA as compared with other modalities, such as CTA
and CEUS; · the potential pitfalls and limitations of the technique in
clinical routine. The volume will prove invaluable to radiologists and
clinicians wishing to expand, improve or consolidate their routine
approach to vascular MR imaging.
