Assessment of Craniospinal Arteriovenous Malformations at 3T with Highly Temporally and Highly Spatially Resolved Contrast-Enhanced MR Angiography

摘要

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Patients with arteriovenous malformation (AVM) are known to have an elevated risk of complications with conventional catheter angiography (CCA) but nonetheless require monitoring of hemodynamics. Thus, we aimed to evaluate both anatomy and hemodynamics in patients with AVM noninvasively by using contrast-enhanced MR angiography (CE-MRA) at 3T and to compare the results with CCA.
