Contrast-enhanced MRA in pre-embolization assessment of a pulmonary arteriovenous malformation

J Magn Reson Imaging. 1997 Mar-Apr;7(2):434-6. doi: 10.1002/jmri.1880070230.

Abstract

We describe a case of a single pulmonary vascular malformation studied with a new contrast-enhanced three-dimensional MRA technique. Images provided the interventional radiologist with a pre-embolization road map from which information regarding the number and size of feeding and draining vessels was obtained accurately and noninvasively.
