  • Title: MRI of soft tissue vascular malformations.
    Author: Kalmar JA, Salmon AP, Eick JJ, Merritt CR, Miller KD, Shuler SE.
    Journal: J La State Med Soc; 1989 Feb; 141(2):27-32. PubMed ID: 2708887.
    Abstract:
    Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is constantly progressing as an important imaging modality for the evaluation of the cardiovascular system and vascular malformations. Due to its superior contrast resolution and sensitivity, MRI is able to differentiate between fat, muscle, bone, and vascular structures. It provides three-dimensional information without the use of ionizing radiation or invasive procedures. We evaluated 11 vascular malformations by MRI using Spin Echo T1 and T2 weighted images. MRI provided more information than computerized tomography, and, in many instances, obviated the need for angiography.
