abstract: MR angiography is a useful examination in the area of head and neck pathology when correctly applied and tailored to a specific clinical problem. Of the cases presented in this article, the most common application is evaluation of vascular invasion or displacement to aid in surgical planning of tumor resection. Applications to evaluation of vascular thrombosis or dissection, assessment of tumor vascularity, and visualization of variant vascular anatomy and acquired vascular disease were also demonstrated.
