The value of magnetic resonance angiography in the evaluation and surgical management of head and neck pathology
Objectives; Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is recognized as an alternative to conventional angiography due to non-invasive approach and less time consuming. MRA is a safe noninvasive radioimaging technique where it can evaluate the vessels without injecting any contrast agent. Methods; Here w...

| Summary: | Objectives; Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is recognized as an alternative to conventional angiography due to non-invasive approach and less time consuming. MRA is a safe noninvasive radioimaging technique where it can evaluate the vessels without injecting any contrast agent.
Methods; Here we presented few our head and neck lesion with various pathology to illustrate the usefulness of the MRA.
Results; MRA has the ability to delineate both the anatomic relationships between head & neck pathology with normal surrounding structures, the tumor vascularity and the tumor feeding vessel.
Conclusion; The aim of this scientific presentation is to highlight the clinical applications for MRA in head & neck pathology especially in providing sufficient information to influence therapeutic decisions. |
