Abstract:
In a period of 4 months, 10 patients were examined prospectively with intraarterial magnetic resonance (MR) angiography after digital subtraction angiography. Intraarterial MR angiography was performed with use of a 1.5-T MR imaging system. Contrast agent (gadodiamide) was injected with a conventional angiography catheter placed in the proximal abdominal aorta. The increase in vascular signal intensity was determined and the diagnostic value of the MR angiograms was scored according to a five-point scale by four investigators. The MR angiograms were judged good to excellent, and all were scored as diagnostic. In conclusion, this study shows that intraarterial MR angiography is feasible. Intraarterial MR angiography is appropriate to support MR-guided vascular intervention.
