Magnetic resonance imaging in pediatric vascular disease.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to study eight children with known vascular disease proved by angiography. Congenital and acquired large vessel disease was equally well demonstrated noninvasively by both MRI and angiography, and in one patient MRI provided superior information about pulmonary artery patency.
