Article Synopsis
- High-resolution MR imaging using a microscopy coil is an effective method for assessing skin lesions by providing detailed images of dermal structure.
- This technique helps in accurately identifying the deep margins of skin tumors, which is crucial for planning surgeries, especially Mohs micrographic surgery for complex facial tumors.
- Basal cell carcinoma, the most common type of skin cancer, often appears on the face, making it important to use microscopy-coil MR imaging to guide surgeons in achieving optimal results while maintaining the patient's appearance.
Purpose: To evaluate differences in the magnitude and time course of renal cortical contrast uptake in patients with minimal, moderate, and severe renal artery stenosis (RAS) using contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance renography (CE-MRR).
Materials And Methods: CE-MRR was performed on 56 patients with renovascular disease using a three-dimensional volume interpolated breath-hold examination (VIBE) perfusion sequence. After administration of 2 mL of contrast, nine sequential axial VIBE datasets were acquired: at baseline, 7, 14, 21, 45, 60, 120, 180, and 240 seconds.
