Moyamoya Disease:Comparison of Assessment with MR Angiography and MR Imaging VS. Convention Angiography Radiology 196:211-218, Yamada,I.,et al, 1995 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract MR angiography and MR imaging accurately depicted 217(82%)and 184(70%)of 264 arteries,respectively,but the degree of stenosis was overestimated in the other arteries.Basal cerebral moyamoya vessels were depicted in all 52 hemispheres with conventional angiography and in 42(81%)and 48(92%) hemispheres with MR angiography and MR imaging,respectively.The respective sensitivity and specificity for diagnosis of moyamoya disease were 73%and 100%for MR angiography,92%and 100%for MR imaging,and 92%and 100%for MR angiography plus MR imaging.Assessment of moyamoya disease is most thorough with MR angiography and MR imaging.
