BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: We sought to assess whether contrast-enhanced MR
angiography is able to predict the degree of angiographic stenosis of the internal carotid …

Objective: To compare retrospectively high-resolution contrast-enhanced magnetic
resonance angiography with centric k-space filling and digital subtraction angiography in the …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Contrast-enhanced MR angiography and extracranial
color-coded duplex sonography are noninvasive, preoperative imaging modalities for …

OBJECTIVE. We believe that many studies in the literature show a falsely elevated
specificity for carotid MR angiography (MRA) in the detection of high-grade stenosis. The …

PURPOSE: To determine whether interpretation of internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis from
source partitions is more accurate than interpretation from maximum-intensity projections …

PURPOSE: To assess accuracy of contrast material–enhanced magnetic resonance (MR)
angiography as compared with three-dimensional (3D) time-of-flight (TOF) MR angiography …

Our purpose was to assess the reproducibility of and differences between the most
commonly used methods for assessing carotid artery stenosis using magnetic resonance …

Anderson et al in this issue of AJNR compare magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), x-
ray angiography (XRA), and carotid ultrasound (US) in the examination of atheromatous …

PURPOSE To estimate from available literature the specificity (true-negative rate) of MR
angiography for detecting severe carotid artery stenoses when applied as a confirmatory test …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Although digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is the
reference standard for assessing carotid arteries, it is uncomfortable for patients and has a …
