Assessment and Classification of Peripheral Vascular Anomalies by Time-Resolved MRA using TWIST.

July 6, 2013 by
Vascular malformations (VM) are complex lesions present in various anatomical locations with a variety of clinical manifestations. Time-resolved MRA combined with parallel imaging and echo sharing schemes offer a reasonable alternative to more invasive diagnostic methods such as digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in evaluation of VMs. MRI is becoming the imaging modality of choice in assessing morphological issues regarding VMs. Time-resolved MRA can play an important role in characterizing these lesions and can influence therapeutic decision-making.

Vascular malformations are complex lesions with a variety of clinical manifestations. Time-resolved MRA combined with parallel imaging and echo sharing schemes represents a reasonable alternative to more invasive DSA for the evaluation of VMs. Therefore, time-resolved MRA can play an important role in categorizing these lesions and determining their extent in order to correctly guide treatment.

Cerebral amyloid angiography using SWI

July 6, 2013 by
Compared to conventional T2*-weighted imaging, a susceptibility-weighted imaging technique is very sensitive in the detection of small bleedings and vascular malformations. This case report shows that SWI is a sensitive tool for the precise assessment of CAA. His findings show that by using SWI, multiple small cortical and subcortical bleedings can be depicted in detail and can show the extent of the severity of CAA better than with conventional T2*-weighted MRI only.
