Carotid artery stenosis: contrast-enhanced MR angiography with two different scan times compared with digital subtraction angiography
Contrast enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (CE MRA) is a non-invasive alternative to conventional digital subtraction angiography (DSA). CE MRA is increasingly used as a complement to Duplex in the preoperative assessment of carotid artery stenosis. The purpose of this study was to determine if CE MRA could replace preoperative DSA. CE MRA with a scan time of 10 or 28 s was performed in 24 c
