  • Title: State-of-the-art Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Vascular Thoracic Outlet Syndrome.
    Author: Aghayev A, Rybicki FJ.
    Journal: Magn Reson Imaging Clin N Am; 2015 May; 23(2):309-20. PubMed ID: 25952522.
    Abstract:
    Vascular thoracic outlet syndrome is caused by compression of subclavian/axillary vessels during their passage from the thoracic cavity to the axilla. Early diagnosis and treatment is important to prevent debilitating outcomes of vascular thoracic outlet syndrome. Contrast-enhanced three-dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) with equilibrium phase using provocative arm positioning is the optimal examination to determine presence, degree of vascular compression, and complications of vascular thoracic outlet syndrome. This article reviews thoracic outlet anatomy, disorders of the vascular component, and typical imaging findings by contrast-enhanced 3D MRA.
