MR angiography has many applications in the evaluation of cerebrovascular disease (aneurysm, vascular malformation, neoplasm, arterial and venous occlusive disease) [1]. Of these, the most common application may be in the assessment of arterial occlusive disease in patients at risk for stroke [2]. Consequently, the accuracy of MR angiography vs conventional angiography in this assessment will most likely determine the extent to which MR angiography is routinely used in clinical practice. In this paper, we review the results of clinical trials in which MR angiography has been used to evaluate arterial occlusive disease in the head and neck and describe those recent developments that promise improved visualization of the vasculature.
磁共振血管造影在评估脑血管疾病（动脉瘤、血管畸形、肿瘤、动静脉闭塞性疾病）方面有许多应用[1]。其中，最常见的应用可能是评估有中风风险患者的动脉闭塞性疾病[2]。因此，在这种评估中磁共振血管造影与传统血管造影的准确性很可能决定了磁共振血管造影在临床实践中常规使用的程度。在本文中，我们回顾了使用磁共振血管造影评估头颈部动脉闭塞性疾病的临床试验结果，并描述了那些有望改善血管系统可视化的最新进展。
