PURPOSE: To evaluate magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) of the pelvis for the examination of the aorto-iliac system using arterial phase 3-D gradient echo and interstitial phase 2-D fat-suppressed spoiled gradient-echo (SGE), with comparison to surgery and angiography.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ninety MR angiograms performed on 79 consecutive patients were analyzed, retrospectively, for the presence of narrowing, aneurysm, and dissection. Comparisons were made with angiography and surgery in 50 examinations, and a weighted kappa statistic test was applied to assess agreement. MR examinations were performed at 1.5T 3-D fast imaging in steady state precession (FISP) acquired immediately, and fat-suppressed SGE in the interstitial phase following gadolinium administration.
RESULTS: MRA had overall sensitivities of 100% at aortic segments, 100% at common iliac, 93.8% at external, and 95.7% at internal iliac, and specificities of 100% at aortic segments, 89.7% at common iliac, 95.2% at external iliac, and 88.7% at internal iliac in detection of vascular disease. The agreement of MRA with the angiography and surgery yielded a weighted kappa statistic of 0.97 at the aortic, 0.94 at the common, 0.85 at the external, and 0.82 at the internal iliac segments.
CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates an excellent performance of MRA in the evaluation of aorto-iliac arterial system and almost perfect agreement with angiography and surgery at all vascular levels.
