Abstract
The aims of this study are to demonstrate the ability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) in the diagnosis an d evaluation of vascular involvement in Behcet's disease. Twelve patients w ith vascular involvement due to Behcet's disease were included in this stud y. We believe that MRI and MRA are safe and noninvasive methods that can be used to confirm and monitor vascular Behcet's disease. (C) 2000 Elsevier S cience Inc. All rights reserved.
