Fast magnetic resonance in vascular diseases of the abdomen.
Fast magnetic resonance (MR) imaging provides a consistent and predictable appearance of vascular abnormalities as shown by four patients with thrombi, dissection and aneurysm. Fast MR images are obtained during breath-holding, resulting in an absence of respiratory motion artifacts. The time of MR study is much less with fast MR than with spin echo sequences.
