  • Title: [MRI angiography of the thoracic vessels including coronary arteries: techniques and indications].
    Author: Didier D.
    Journal: J Radiol; 1999 Sep; 80(9 Pt 2):1042-53. PubMed ID: 10506961.
    Abstract:
    Because it is a non-invasive method, Magnetic Resonance Angiography has more and more indications in the thorax, particularly with the help of use of contrast media. Different types of sequences used (Cine-MR, Gradient-echo 2D and Gadolinium enhanced breath-hold and non breath-hold 3D) are described as well as acquisition parameters and reconstructions from natives images. Post-processing techniques (MIP, MPR, 3D Surface Rendering) and their limitations depending upon the region explored are explained. Major indications (congenital anomalies of the great vessels, aneurysms, dissections, post-operative studies, evaluation of coronary arteries) are illustrated and the role of MRA compared to the other invasive and non invasive modalities is discussed.
