Dynamic MR angiography (MRA) of spinal vascular diseases at 3T

Maria Isabel Vargas et al. Eur Radiol. 2010 Oct.

Abstract

Spinal magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is difficult to perform because of the size of the spinal cord vessels. High-field MR improves resolution and imaging speed. We examined 17 patients with spinal vascular diseases with dynamic contrast-enhanced three-dimensional MR sequences. In three patients, the artery of Adamkievicz could be seen; we could also detect all arteriovenous malformations and dural fistulas. MRA has the potential to replace diagnostic spinal angiography and the latter should be used only for therapeutic purposes.
