Module 6 – Clinical Magnetic Resonance Angiography

Module 6 – Clinical Magnetic Resonance Angiography

  • Describe the role of gadolinium-based contrast agents in vascular imaging
  • Explain the role of phase contrast and time-of-flight imaging to create images using magnetic resonance angiography
  • Discuss bolus detection techniques and timing methods
  • Recognize patient risk factors and respond to the most common adverse patient reactions to MRI contrast media
  • Identify common postprocessing reconstructions used in MRA
  • List the imaging techniques used in MRA and MRV for various portions of the vasculature, including those that benefit from the use of contrast enhancement
