Vascular malformations.
MR angiography supplements conventional MR imaging in the diagnosis and evaluation of patients with arteriovenous malformations. MR angiography may also have a significant role in the planning and follow up of patients undergoing radiosurgical treatment. The technique has a much more limited role in the evaluation of vascular formations with low flow or no flow, such as developmental venous anomalies, cavernous malformations, and capillary telangiectasis.
