Summary

Based upon the experiences of approximately 1500 patients examined by magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) at Hyogo Prefectural Awaji Hospital, we review here the application of MRA in the diagnosis of occlusive cerebrovascular disease in both the acute and chronic stage. MRA is useful not only in routine outpatient screening examinations but also in guiding the treatment of strokes in the acute stage by localizing the site of vessel obstruction more precisely and identifying areas of stenosis. The results of this study show that conventional cerebral angiography and MRA are in close agreement in the diagnosis of cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage. Clip artifacts interfered with the assessment of some vascular regions around the surgical clips. MRA is an effective tool for detecting cerebral vasospasm after clipping procedures for cerebral aneurysm.
