Is three-dimensional contrast-enhanced MR angiography effective for the diagnosis and treatment planning of aortic dissection in medically stable patients?
Three-dimensional contrast-enhanced MR angiography is highlighted as an optimal, noninvasive imaging modality for medically stable patients with aortic dissection, avoiding ionizing radiation and nephrotoxic contrast.
