Cerebral Vascular Malformations:Applications of Magnetic Resonance Imaging to Differential Diagnosis Neuroradiology 31:320-325, Imakita,S.,et al, 1989 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Twelve patients with cerebral vascular malformations(5 cavernous angiomas, 1 thrombosed arteriovenous malformation,and 6 venous angiomas)were studied with magnetic resonance(MR)imaging.All lesions were clearly depicted. Characteristic MR findings were obtained mainly on T2-weighted images:a markedly low intensity area was always seen.The margins of arteriovenous malformation(AVM)and venous angioma were irregular while those of cavernous angioma were smooth in all planes on T2-weighted images. Gradient-echo(GrE)pulse sequences were more sensitive than T2-weighted spin echo(SE)in lesion detection.MR imaging could play an important role in the differential diagnosis of cerebral vascular malformations.
