[Diagnostic possibilities of contrast magnetic resonance tomography]

The practice of examinations of more than 400 patients in the diagnostic center of CRIRR showed a high diagnostic efficiency of contrast MRA, especially in stenoses, occlusions, pathologic bends of the brachiocephalic vessels; aneurysms and stenoses of the abdominal and thoracic aorta, stenoses and occlusions of visceral branches of the abdominal aorta, iliac arteries including condition of vessels after surgical correction. Valuable facts have been obtained in vasorenal hypertension caused by stenoses, occlusions, extravasal compressions, additional arteries, and in the portal system (thrombosis of the main trunk and branches of the portal vein, signs of portal hypertension).
