MAGNETOM Aera – Combining Throughput and Highest Quality MR Angiography in an Optimized Clinical Workflow

March 6, 2014 by MRI
This paper shows how the simultaneous use of multipurpose loop coils in MRI allows high-resolution musculoskeletal studies with increased contrast and specificity for assessing muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, and cartilage. Dr. Ferrer presents a number of different daily patient routine examinations, including specifically evaluation of the carpal bones, the thumb metacarpals, the metacarpals, the distal inter-phalangeal joints, the elbow and ankle.

Contrast Enhanced MRA of a Pelvic Arteriovenous Malformation

July 6, 2013 by
This 43-year-old woman presented to the angiography department three years ago with pain in the lower abdomen. She underwent resection of an intrauterine fibroma in 1997 and a C-section in 2002. In September 2005, the question was raised regarding a possible malformation of iliac vessels on the left side. [...]

Continuous table movement MRA for diagnosis of generalized atherosclerotic disease

July 6, 2013 by
This 48 year old woman presented to the department of vascular surgery due to recurrent pain in both legs. She suffers from hypertension, hyperlipidemia and coronary artery disease. She has previously been diagnosed with a high-grade stenosis of the right internal carotid artery and occlusion of the left internal carotid artery, andis as well status post dilatation and stenting of the circumflex coronary artery. Additional relevant vascular disease and surgery include occlusion of the right subclavian artery, aortobifemoral bypass grafting due to high-grade stenosis, and occlusion of the common, external and internal iliac arteries on both sides. [...]

New Non-Contrast MR Techniques (for MR angiography and tissue perfusion)

July 6, 2013 by MRI
NATIVE enables excellent non-contrast MR angiographic imaging, with reproducible results. This new software/scan approach is particularly important given that the use of intravenous contrast media has come under recent increased scrutiny. Of relevance, the gadolinium chelates (and specifically the less stable agents in this class), which are used as MR contrast agents, have been linked to a condition called Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF) that can occur in patients with renal insufficiency. [...]

syngo Native – Non Contrast MR Angiography Techniques

July 6, 2013 by MRI
With the need to carefully consider the risk versus benefit of contrast agent administration, following the advent of Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF), as well as the need to perform cost effective MR studies, there is a demand for improved methods for performing MR angiography using intrinsic rather than extrinsic contrast mechanisms. [...]
