angioRM
AngioRM refers to magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) performed with magnetic resonance imaging to visualize blood vessels. It uses MRI, sometimes with contrast, to produce three-dimensional images of arterial and venous structures. AngioRM is noninvasive and does not involve ionizing radiation, making it suitable for serial follow-up and for patients requiring repeated imaging.
Non-contrast approaches include time-of-flight (TOF) MRA and phase-contrast MRA, which exploit flow-related enhancement and phase differences
AngioRM is used to evaluate aneurysms, stenotic vessels, occlusions, arteriovenous malformations, dissections, and congenital vascular anomalies.
Safety and limitations: Contrast-enhanced MRA with gadolinium carries a small risk of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis in
AngioRM complements other vascular imaging modalities such as CT angiography and Doppler ultrasound, providing high soft-tissue
