ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To intra-individually compare diagnostic accuracy of high-resolution contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (CE-MRA) with computed tomography angiography (CTA) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) for the assessment of supraaortic steno-occlusive disease. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Twenty-eight patients (20 men, 8 women, 53-79 years of age) underwent supraaortic CE-MRA, CTA and DSA. CE-MRA was performed on two 1.5T MR scanners (voxel dimension 0.66x0.66x1.1 or 1.2 mm3), and CTA on 64-slice CT scanners (voxel dimension 0.42x0.42x0.63 mm3). All the three examinations were completed within 40 days (median 19 days; range 1-40 days). Retrospective evaluation and measurement of diameter of 6 extracranial and 9 intracranial arterial segments was done by 2 experienced radiologists.RESULTS:
A total of 420 arterial segments were examined by CE-MRA, CTA and DSA. On DSA, 34 stenoocclusive lesions were noted at extracranial (n=19) and intracranial (n=15) vessels. For extracranial stenosis greater than 70%, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive values (NPV) were 94.7%, 98.7%, 90.0% and 99.3% on CE-MRA, and 94.7%, 99.3%, 94.7% and 99.3% on CTA. For intracranial stenosis greater than 50%, sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV were 93.3%, 98.3%, 77.8%and 99.6% on CE-MRA, and 86.7%, 97.9%, 72.2% and 99.1% on CTA, with DSA as the standard of reference.CONCLUSION:
Supraaortic CE-MRA is as reliable as CTA in depicting the arterial stenosis, and is effective in screening of significant stenosis of both extracranial and intracranial arterial stenosis.
