BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 4D-MRA is a promising technique in the diagnosis and follow-up of cAVMs. The purpose of this study was to compare 4D-MRA in the pre- and postoperative evaluation of cAVMs with DSA or intraoperative findings as the standards of reference regarding qualitative and quantitative parameters. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-six consecutive patients with cAVMs (30 women) underwent...
A novel many-valued decomposition within the framework of lossless Reconstructability Analysis is presented. In previous work, Modified Recontructability Analysis (MRA) was applied to Boolean functions, where it was shown that most Boolean functions not decomposable using conventional Reconstructability Analysis (CRA) are decomposable using MRA. Also, it was previously shown that whenever decom...
Introduction –3D time-of-flight (TOF) [1] provides excellent vessel-to-background contrast in intracranial MRA, but is subject to inplane saturation and incomplete venous suppression. Spin-labeling [2-3] may be used to perform MRA [4-5], but typically requires long inversion intervals with inherently long acquisition times. We have developed a 3D fast inversion recovery MRA (FIR-MRA) that uses ...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The detection and localization of spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) remain diagnostic challenges. This study tested the hypothesis that elliptic centric contrast-enhanced MR angiography (MRA) can be used to detect spinal dural AVFs, predict the level of fistulas, and reduce the radiation dose and volume of iodinated contrast material associated with conventional ...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To systematically analyze conventional angiographic (CA) features of children with primary central nervous system angiitis (cPACNS), to compare and correlate CA and MR angiography (MRA) lesion characteristics, and to define the sensitivity and specificity of MRA with CA as a reference standard. METHODS A retrospective, single-center cohort study of consecutive patients ...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We prospectively evaluated the influence of different imaging techniques (time-of-flight MR angiography [TOF-MRA], contrast-enhanced MR angiography [CE-MRA], multisection CT angiography [CTA]) and postprocessing methods (maximum intensity projection [MIP], multiplanar reformation [MPR]) on carotid artery stenosis grading. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty patients (34 men, 16...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Internal carotid artery (ICA) atheromatous disease is an important cause of ischemic stroke, and endarterectomy or stent placement is typically indicated for symptomatic patients with > or = 70% stenosis. Our purpose was to compare contrast-enhanced MR angiography (CE-MRA) with unenhanced 2D time-of-flight MR angiography (2D TOF MRA) in detecting hemodynamically significa...
The role of MRA, as an adjunct to conventional MR imaging of the spine and spinal cord, is evolving. The older MRA methods that have been applied to spinal vascular imaging include 2D and 3D phase contrast techniques and a derivative of 3D time-of-flight techniques with data acquired for about several minutes after gadolinium contrast injection (standard 3D CE MRA). Newer 3D gradient-echo techn...
Background To assess the feasibility of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and angiography (MRA) at 3.0T in pediatric patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) and to compare the technical and diagnostic performance with an age-matched and clinically comparable control group imaged at 1.5T. Methods Forty-six patients (age 1 day to 8 years, mean 37.2 ± 32.8 months) with suspected or kno...
Cultured monocytes release a factor, monocyte-derived recruiting activity (MRA), which stimulates fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and T lymphocytes to produce colony-stimulating activity (CSA). We studied the kinetics of MRA production using a technique in which MRA levels were measured in a two stage bioassay. We used umbilical vein endothelial cells as the MRA-responsive (CSA-producing) cells...
