ABSTRACT
Using dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (dceMRI) as a diagnostic tool designed to identify key hemodynamic, morphological, and anatomical characteristics, it is possible to successfully distinguish between high-flow and low-flow vascular malformations in patients with congenital vascular malformations. It provides information used for pretreatment planning and minimizes the need for unnecessary invasive catheter-based venography. Angiography is reserved for the most complex cases where dceMRI is inconclusive.
