Active lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage diagnosed by magnetic resonance angiography: case report.
Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) has demonstrated the potential for detecting gastrointestinal bleeding in animal studies. We report a case of active lower gastrointestinal bleed diagnosed with MRA in an elderly patient. Clinical, radiologic, and surgical findings are described.
