Observational (n=20)
Does contrast-enhanced 3D FGE MRA provide more detailed diagnostic information than 2D TOF MRA in patients with steno-occlusive carotid pathology?
Contrast-enhanced 3D FGE MRA provides superior diagnostic detail compared to 2D TOF MRA for evaluating carotid pathology, serving as a valid alternative to digital subtraction angiography.
Sabatini et al. (2000) conducted an observational in Steno-occlusive Carotid Pathology (n=20). Contrast enhanced 3D FGE MR angiography vs. 2D TOF MR angiography was evaluated on Detailed diagnostic information. Contrast-enhanced 3D FGE MR angiography provided more detailed information than 2D TOF for evaluating steno-occlusive carotid pathology, serving as a valid alternative to DSA.
