1 A major teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School Angiography: What are our goals? Non-Contrast MRA: How and When Neil M. Rofsky, M.D. Professor of Radiology, Harvard Medical School Director of MRI & Associate Chief at Large Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Boston, MA, USA Accuracy Excellent correlation with reference std Allows for correct management decisions Clinician acceptance Familiar presentation Artifact free! Reproducibility Across vendors Across software platforms Across users Simplicity The goals have been achieved with Gd-enhanced MRA 1996! Why Non-Contrast MRA? NSF concerns Allergy concerns Failed IV access Physiologic adjuncts (multiple repeats) Velocity & Flow Determinations Response to vasodilators Non-Contrast MRA Inflow Techniques Differences in excitation hx Velocity Techniques Phase Contrast Triggered FSE Intrinsic Bright Blood T1 and T2 of blood
