Abstract:
MRA includes all techniques used to depict vessels with MR. Gadolinium contrast injection combined with gradient echo sequences is the technique of choice for vascular imaging. Technical advances now allow faster acquisitions. The purpose of this article is to present two main advances with MRA: whole-body MRA and dynamic 3D MRA. Technical considerations, acquisition techniques, advantages and pitfalls based on our experience with a 1.5T MR unit will be discussed in order to promote their use in routine clinical practice.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
