Diagnostic Performance of the Modern Imaging Modalities in Renovascular Disease: An Evaluation
Introduction: Renal artery stenosis is a very important cause of Renovascular disease. Atherosclerosis has been identified as a most common etiology for renal artery stenosis. Long standing renal artery stenosis can cause irreversible changes in kidney hence, it is imperative to identify the disease at early stage and treat. Aim: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of Color Doppler US, CT Angio...
متن کاملIntracranial vascular stenosis and occlusive disease: evaluation with CT angiography, MR angiography, and digital subtraction angiography.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Although digital subtraction angiography (DSA) provides excellent visualization of the intracranial vasculature, it has several limitations. Our purpose was to evaluate the ability of helical CT angiography (CTA) to help detect and quantify intracranial stenosis and occlusion compared with DSA and MR angiography (MRA). METHODS Twenty-eight patients underwent CTA, DSA, a...
متن کاملProspective evaluation of carotid artery stenosis: elliptic centric contrast-enhanced MR angiography and spiral CT angiography compared with digital subtraction angiography.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Although digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is the reference standard for assessing carotid arteries, it is uncomfortable for patients and has a small risk of disabling stroke and death. These problems have fueled the use of spiral CT angiography and MR angiography. We prospectively compared elliptic centric contrast-enhanced MR angiography and spiral CT angiography wi...
متن کاملNoninvasive detection of vertebral artery stenosis: a comparison of contrast-enhanced MR angiography, CT angiography, and ultrasound.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Vertebral stenosis is associated with a high risk of recurrent stroke, but noninvasive imaging techniques to identify it have lacked sensitivity. Contrast-enhanced MR angiography and CT angiography have been recently developed and appear to have better sensitivity. However, no prospective studies have compared both of these techniques with ultrasound against the gold stan...
متن کاملPreoperative evaluation of carotid artery stenosis: comparison of contrast-enhanced MR angiography and duplex sonography with digital subtraction angiography.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Contrast-enhanced MR angiography and extracranial color-coded duplex sonography are noninvasive, preoperative imaging modalities for evaluation of carotid artery stenosis. Innovative techniques and improvements in image quality require frequent reassessment of accuracy, reliability, and diagnostic value compared with those of digital subtraction angiography (DSA). We eval...
