Subclavian artery aneurysm: the role of magnetic resonance imaging.
Subclavian artery aneurysms are rare. Diagnosis is important as complications can be life threatening. A case is reported which is diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging; moreover it is suggested that magnetic resonance imaging is now the initial imaging modality of choice in the investigation of these lesions.
