Abstract
A first-pass, contrast-enhanced three-dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance ( MR) angiography with short acquisition time was performed for three consecu tive cases with suspected spinal arteriovenous fistula (AVF). This MR techn ique demonstrated the feeding arteries and! draining veins of the spinal du ral AVF, and was very useful for the definite diagnosis of the lesions as a disease with arteriovenous shunt. With this MR technique, we could localiz e the feeding artery and shunt before conventional angiography. (C) 2000 Wi ley-Liss, Inc.
