Diagnostic accuracy of 4D-MRA for the detection and localization of spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas: A retrospective 10-year cohort study
The results indicate that 4D-MRA has a high sensitivity and specificity for the detection and localization of a SDAVF, which is in line with previous studies published in literature. Furthermore, 4D-MRA can serve to guide DSA and shorten the procedural time, which reduces the risk of angiography related complications, and decreases patient discomfort.
