Table 4 Results of patients with vascular pathology

From: Dynamic quantitative nonenhanced magnetic resonance angiography of the abdominal aorta and lower extremities using cine fast interrupted steady-state in combination with arterial spin labeling: a feasibility study

Group 3 - Peripheral Artery Pathology

 

Age

Sex

Pathology

Imaging Plane

Slices/level

Qualitative Imaging Findings

Patient 1

58

F

Right SFA Stenosis

Coronal, Sagittal

3

Hemodynamically significant stenosis

Patient 2

67

M

Left SFA Occlusion

Coronal

3–5

Collateral vessels on the left with slower flow compared to right SFA

Patient 3

69

M

Left CIA Stenosis

Coronal

4–5

Appeared high grade on static CT images but flow was similar bilaterally at rest and the patient was not symptomatic on the left side

Patient 4

73

F

Fem-pop Graft Anastomosis Stenosis

Coronal, Sagittal

3

Hemodynamically significant stenosis with slower flow above the stenosis and rapid flow through the stenosis

Patient 5

74

F

Mid Fem-pop Graft Stenosis

Coronal, Sagittal

1

Symmetric flow in bilateral grafts suggests the stenosis is not hemodynamically significant at rest

Patient 6

76

M

Left CFA Stenosis

Coronal

3,7

Decreased flow on the left side compared to the right side consistent with a hemodynamically significant stenosis

Patient 7

81

F

Right SFA Occlusion

Coronal

5

Collateral thigh vessels with reduced flow compared to the left side

Patient 8

78

F

Multifocal Below-knee Occlusive Atheroma

Coronal

5

Markedly reduced flow below the knee bilaterally with collateral vessels seen

Patient 9

65

M

Right CFA Stenosis

Coronal

5

Tortuous vessel but the stenosis was not hemodynamically significant

Patient 10a

46

M

Right CIA/EIA Dissection

Coronal

5, 1

Differential flow patterns in true and false lumen

Group 4 - Abdominal Aorta Pathology

 

Age

Sex

Pathology

  

Qualitative Imaging Findings

Patient 1

48

F

Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome

Sagittal, Sagittal oblique

1–2

Severe stenosis of the celiac axis by the median arcuate ligament with reduced flow in the celiac axis

Patient 2a

46

M

Chronic dissection

Coronal

6

Differential flow patterns in true and false lumen

  1. aPatient 10 in group 3 and patient 2 in group 4 are the same patient but imaged at different levels as pathology was seen in both areas of interest
