Magnetic Resonance Angiography Techniques

Investigative Radiology, 1992
After a radio frequency pulse, the decay of the magnetic resonance (MR) signal is described by two relaxation processes, T1 and T2. T1 describes the rate at which the magnetization realigns itself along the external magnetic field direction (ML), and T2 describes the rate of decay of the magnetization component along the transverse axis (MT).

GI magnetic resonance angiography

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 2002
MRA is a type of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in which blood appears bright. To form a magnetic resonance (MR) angiogram, a 3-dimensional set of thin sections is acquired through the region of interest. The images are then processed by computer to create a 2-dimensional projected display that resembles a conventional angiogram.

MAGNETIC RESONANCE ANGIOGRAPHY OF THE ABDOMEN

Gastroenterology Clinics of North America, 1995
The applications of abdominal MR angiography have been slow as compared with its applications in the head and neck mainly because of greater technical difficulties in dealing with respiratory motion and the use of the body coil, which has a poorer signal-to-noise ratio than head or surface coils.

Intracranial Magnetic Resonance Angiography

Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology, 1992
Intraarterial angiography remains the "gold standard" for the evaluation of the intracranial vasculature, but it carries with it the risks of local vascular damage, systemic reactions, transient neurologic deficits, permanent neurologic compromise, and even death.

PORTAL MAGNETIC RESONANCE ANGIOGRAPHY

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Clinics of North America, 1993
MR angiography has shown definite clinical use in the portal venous system. Methods have been developed for noninvasive assessment of portal venous anatomy and blood flow using a variety of techniques. Time-of-flight techniques for portal angiography and both time-of-flight and phase-contrast techniques for flow measurement are reviewed.

Cerebral magnetic resonance angiography

Neurological Research, 1992
Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is an accurate non-invasive tool for imaging the cerebral vessels. It provides morphologic information about the cerebral vessels relying on blood flow as the physical basis for generating contrast between stationary tissues and moving spins.

Coronary Magnetic Resonance Angiography

Cardiology in Review, 2001
Despite advances in both prevention and treatment, cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. The current gold standard for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease is the x-ray coronary angiogram, which is both costly and associated with a small risk of morbidity. More than 1 million Americans are

Coronary magnetic resonance angiography

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, 2007
AbstractCoronary magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is a powerful noninvasive technique with high soft‐tissue contrast for the visualization of the coronary anatomy without X‐ray exposure. Due to the small dimensions and tortuous nature of the coronary arteries, a high spatial resolution and sufficient volumetric coverage have to be obtained. However,

Magnetic resonance angiography: A review

Academic Radiology, 1998
Summary MR technology continues to advance at a spectacular pace. It is increasingly useful for safe, accurate imaging of vascular anatomy and pathology throughout the body.

Cardiothoracic Magnetic Resonance Angiography

Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology
Catheter-based angiography is regarded as the clinical reference imaging technique for vessel imaging; however, it is invasive and is currently used for intervention or physiologic measurements. Contrast enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) with gadolinium-based contrast agents can be performed as a three-dimensional (3D) MRA or as a time ...
