Applications of 3D contrast-enhanced MR angiograpy in pediatric oncology

Pediatr Radiol. 1999 Nov;29(11):863-8. doi: 10.1007/s002470050714.

Abstract

Contrast-enhanced 3D MR angiography can be used for imaging of children. This technique can improve the delineation of the vasculature that is more anatomically familiar to surgeons. Here we illustrate the usefulness of contrast-enhanced 3D MR angiography in the diagnosis and follow-up of pediatric oncology patients.
