| Publisher Description: As MRI has proved its function in diagnostic angiography, MRA has the ability to give more physiological and pathophysiological data about the illness along with anatomical information. This book discusses the fundamentals of MRI angiography, starting with contrast agents that are majorly used in MR angiography with a comprehensive discussion of benefits and conditions of various types of contrast. The book also presents the technical considerations that add to better quality examination, both the non contrast and contrast based sequences from black to bright blood imaging, contrast enhanced MRA, review of clinical application of MRA in distinct body systems and MR venography. It also includes the reviews of the clinical applications of MRI, primarily in the head, neck and brain ischemia imaging. Topics like high resolution intracranial plaque imaging of the branch athermanous illness, the hemodynamic of intracranial atherosclerotic stroke and quantitative MRA imaging in neurovascular imaging are also discussed in this book. It also includes future potential and new frontiers of MRI angiography, in addition to emphasizing on cardiac MRA and MRA of aortic disease in children. |
