Abstract:
Contrast-enhanced 3D MR angiography can be used for imaging of children. This technique can improve the delineation of the vasculature that is more anatomically familiar to surgeons. Here we illustrate the usefulness of contrast-enhanced 3D MR angiography in the diagnosis and follow-up of pediatric oncology patients.
Insights
Contrast-enhanced 3D MR angiography is useful for imaging children, improving vascular visualization for surgeons. This technique aids in diagnosing and monitoring pediatric oncology patients.
