In recent years, time-resolved 4D-MRA technique based on
arterial spin labeling (ASL) methods has been widely
reported. In addition, vessel selective 4D-MRA (VS
4D-MRA) can be obtained using spatial free labeling slab
based on pulsed ASL technique. The aim of this study was
to assess the usefulness of VS 4D-MRA for the assessment
of feeding artery in intracranial AVM. This study
revealed that additional information of feeding arterial
flow was obtained using VS 4D-MRA compared to
conventional TOF-MRA. This technique can be useful for
the evaluation of intracranial AVM as additional
information.
