Pulmonary arteriography.
This article reviews current trends in MR angiography of the pulmonary vasculature, including both two-dimensional and three-dimensional MR imaging techniques. Focus is on those techniques used for the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism. Three-dimensional techniques are discussed in more detail, demonstrating a combination of two techniques incorporating magnetization prepared rapid gradient acquisitions that have added substantial versatility in diagnosing pulmonary vascular disease.
