Simultaneous Visualization of Vessels and Brain Tumor with Contrast-enhanced Three-dimensional Phase-contrast MR Imaging

The sequence for concurrently depicting engulfed vessels and a well-enhanced tumor in once-off scanning has never been reported for preoperative magnetic resonance imaging for brain tumor resection. Multimodal fusion techniques have been recently developed, but the risks of misregistration still rem...

Sumario:The sequence for concurrently depicting engulfed vessels and a well-enhanced tumor in once-off scanning has never been reported for preoperative magnetic resonance imaging for brain tumor resection. Multimodal fusion techniques have been recently developed, but the risks of misregistration still remain. Here a case is reported where contrast-enhanced three-dimensional phase contrast sequence concurrently depicted an engulfed vessel and metastatic brain tumor in once-off scanning and related technical aspects are discussed.
