Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this essay is to describe the basic principles behind contrast-enhanced time-resolved MR angiography (MRA) performed with the time-resolved imaging with stochastic trajectories technique and to show examples of the versatile applications of this technique in the evaluation of pathologic conditions throughout the body. CONCLUSION: Time-resolved MR angiography is a versatile technique for vascular imaging throughout the body. It can be used to answer a variety of clinical questions; to acquire diagnostically useful information, even about complicated vascular lesions; and to overcome many of the limitations of bolus-chase contrast-enhanced MR angiography. The technique is particularly useful when the arterial arrival time is uncertain, the patient is freely breathing, or contrast dynamics are critical to a diagnosis.
