Popis: | Many efforts and much research have been dedicated to the field of non-invasive angiographic techniques in the past few years. Thanks first to magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and subsequently to computed tomographic angiography (CTA), very interesting results have been obtained in the diagnosis of cerebrovascular diseases. Neck vessels are most successfully evaluated by both MRA and CTA, and the need for digital subtraction angiography (DSA) examinations in patients at risk for vascular occlusions has significantly decreased. The role and the diagnostic accuracy of these non-invasive modalities in intracranial vascular pathology is still under investigation, and several studies have been and are being performed. Both techniques have a better spatial resolution and sensitivity in detecting cerebrovascular malformations than DSA. In the diagnosis of cerebral aneurysms, both MRA and CTA - due to their high sensitivity - have become screening techniques in the population at risk for subarachnoid hemorrhage, these techniques may become basic diagnostic modalities in treatment planning. The results are less satisfying in the evaluation of brain arteriovenous malformations and in the different steps of pre- and post-therapeutic evaluation. |
