Magnetic resonance angiography of the intracranial vessels.
In this overview the results and indications of Magnetic Resonance Angiography of the intracranial vasculature will be discussed. The value of MRA will be studied in the visualisation of normal variants of the cerebral anatomy, the imaging of cerebrovascular disease, the diagnosis of aneurysms and cerebral arteriovenous malformations, the preoperative setup of cerebral tumors and the demonstration of vascular compression.
