Topics Discussed: scanning or imaging with vascular flow.
Excerpt:
"Imaging of the vasculature has evolved greatly in the past 15 years.
Although the perceived current gold standard is the time-honored
but invasive method of x-ray angiography, noninvasive modalities
such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography
(CT) are becoming routine in the diagnostic examination of patients
with vascular diseases. In many instances, either MRI or multislice
spiral computed tomography (MSCT) has replaced x-ray angiography
as the imaging modality of choice, owing to the ever-increasing
quality of the images, the noninvasive application of these modalities,
the ease and comfort of the patients, and the clinical versatility
of both CT and MRI...."
