Dual-Source Computed Tomography Angiography versus Time-Resolved Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Angiography for Diagnosis of Spinal Vascular Malformations: A Retrospective Study
Both TWIST-MRA and CTA are reliable for diagnosing SVM and localizing the feeding artery and fistula. While TWIST-MRA remains the primary technique, the addition of CTA can improve diagnostic confidence. CTA may be considered as an alternative to TWIST-MRA for SVMs in the cervical and lumbosacral regions.
