Magnetic resonance imaging is a quick, noninvasive yet precise alternative to catheter-based angiography for assessing atherosclerosis of the peripheral vascular system. As a noninvasive method it ...

Noninvasive modalities, including duplex ultrasonography, renal scintigraphy, CT angiography and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), may usefully contribute to diagnosis and treatment planning in ...

Magnetic resonance imaging is increasingly used to avoid the radiation used in computed tomographic scanning. Gadolinium contrast medium allows vascular imaging without the nephrotoxic effects ...

The results of a new study of about 20,000 Veterans Affairs system patients undergoing diagnostic imaging for peripheral vascular disease (PVD) from 1999 to 2004 show significant cost savings with ...

Vascular. 2007;15(6):376-383. To obtain high-quality images, it is important to have specialized coils overlying the patients to ensure a high signal to noise ratio. [3] Initially, a noncontrast data ...

Leesburg, VA, June 22, 2023—According to an accepted manuscript published in ARRS’ own American Journal of Roentgenology (AJR), preferential use of pulmonary MR angiography (MRA) for diagnosing ...

Patients with diabetes or renal failure are at high risk for deadly and debilitating vascular diseases, however, the most common imaging tool to evaluate the blood vessels uses a contrast agent that ...

Kim and colleagues [1] have brought this question out into the open. There is no need for a lengthy discussion at present, but the future is clearer than it was. Their work reveals that the ...

A novel type of contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography is highly accurate in identifying blockages in the arteries that carry blood to the brain, according to a study in the February issue ...

To the Editor: Kim et al. (Dec. 27 issue) 1 acknowledge that their study has several limitations. First, 6 percent of the patients and 16 percent of the coronary segments could not be assessed by ...

Intracranial MRA - Caudal Rostal Projection. In this view, imagine you are looking from above the patient's head straight down towards their feet. This view is especially good for visualization of the ...

Coronary angiography could wait among people successfully resuscitated from cardiac arrest in the absence of ST-segment elevation MI (STEMI), longer-term results from the COACT trial confirmed.
