Abdomen, Pelvis, and Extremities: Diagnostic Accuracy of Dynamic Contrast-enhanced Turbo MR Angiography Compared with Conventional Angiography-Initial Experience¹

¹ From the Department of Radiology, Kumamoto University School of Medicine, 1-1-1 Honjo, Kumamoto 860, Japan. Received March 1, 1999; revision requested April 15; final revision received December 6; accepted December 20. Address correspondence to K.M. (e-mail: katsumit@kaiju.medic.kumamoto-u.ac.jp).

To determine the value of contrast material–enhanced three-dimensional turbo magnetic resonance (MR) angiography compared with conventional cut-film or digital subtraction angiography for evaluating arterial stenosis in the abdomen, pelvis, and extremities. For detection of significant stenosis, MR angiography had 91% sensitivity and 89% specificity. This technique is highly sensitive in lesion detection, but stenosis tended to be overestimated.
