Magnetic resonance angiography
To outline the physical principles of magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), major current MRA techniques, clinical indications and some of the limitations of MRA. The rapidly changing nature of MRA techniques is stressed.The MRA literature for the last eight years is reviewed with particular attention to the changing clinical role of MRA.

Pulmonary magnetic resonance angiography [PDF]
Early attempts to image the pulmonary vasculature with spin-echo magnetic resonance (MR) imaging were hampered by severe image degradation related to respiratory and cardiac pulsation artifact, susceptibility at interfaces between lung parenchyma and vessel wall, and poor contrast between flowing blood and intravascular filling defects of emboli.

Magnetic resonance angiography signal intensity as a marker of hemodynamic impairment in intracranial arterial stenosis. [PDF]
BackgroundIntracranial arterial stenosis (ICAS) is the predominant cause of ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack in Asia. Change of signal intensities (SI) across an ICAS on magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) may reflect its hemodynamic ...

Magnetic Resonance Angiography [PDF]
AbstractThe “flow compensation” of moving spins is necessary to visualize blood in MR imaging. This unit discusses the effects of blood flow in detail, particularly in regard to obtaining an accurate measurement of the blood vessel lumen (the interior dimensions of the vessel).

Time trends in survival and readmission following coronary artery bypass grafting in Scotland, 1981-96: retrospective observational study [PDF]
Improvements in coronary revascularisation techniques and an increase in the use of percutaneous interventions1 have led to a rise in the number of coronary artery bypass grafting operations in older patients with more severe cardiac disease and worse ...
