Neurovascular imaging.

Neurovascular imaging stresses the role of MR angiography and color flow Doppler sonography in selected congenital vascular anomalies, aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, arteriosclerotic cerebrovascular disease, and dural sinus thrombosis. The application of North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial criteria to the diagnosis of carotid artery stenosis and the correlations among radiograph arteriography, sonography, and MR angiography are reviewed in detail. The new clinical advisory on endarterectomy for asymptomatic 60% to 99% carotid stenosis is reviewed as well.

Non-T1-weighted spin-echo MR imaging with contrast material: experimental and preliminary clinical assessment.

To clarify the role of contrast-enhanced non-T1-weighted spin-echo (SE) MR imaging, phantom experiments and 20 clinical examinations were conducted. All of the SE pulse sequences demonstrated enhancement on gadopentetate dimeglumine solution phantoms. Enhancement effect was also observed on proton density-weighted and T2-weighted images in tumors. This property might be better recognized and utilized in selecting pulse sequences in routine MR examinations.
