MR Angiography Series: Neurovascular MR Angiography. Academic Article uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • Neurovascular MR angiography (MRA) is an evolving imaging technique and is crucial for the workup of numerous neurologic disorders. While CT angiography (CTA) provides a more rapid imaging assessment, in select patients it can impart a small risk of contrast material-induced nephrotoxicity or radiation-associated cancers. In addition, MRA offers some advantages over CTA for neurovascular evaluation, including higher temporal resolution and the capability for vessel wall imaging. This module is the third in a series created on behalf of the Society for Magnetic Resonance Angiography (SMRA), a group of researchers and clinicians who are passionate about the benefits of MRA but understand its challenges. The full digital presentation is available online. Work of the U.S. Government published under an exclusive license with the RSNA.
