Abstract:
While computed tomographic angiography using multidetector-row computed tomography has made a great innovation, magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) may enable demonstration of more adequate diagnostic information on such as the artery of Adamkiewicz. The advent of time-resolved imaging of contrast kinetics (TRICKS) has permitted 3-dimensional contrast-enhanced MRA to obtain dynamic information. It is expected that the super high field magnetic resonance imagine equipment (ex. 3 tesla), new type acquisition coil and dedicated contrast media for MRA will play an important role in diagnosing great vessels.

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
