Abstract
The development of magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) during recent years led to a new, noninvasive method of imaging blood vessels [1, 2, 4]. Previous reports demonstrated the possibility of studying the anatomy and pathology of intracranial vasculature using a three-dimensional gradient-echo sequence (3D-MRA) [5, 6, 8, 10]. This technique can be used in addition to routine MR studies of the brain parenchyma without administration of contrast agents. The examination time varies between 7 and 12 min depending on the number of partitions. The purpose of this study was to determine sensitivity and specificity of 3D-MRA in comparison with intraarterial digital subtraction angiography (IADSA).
