Three-dimensional (3D) gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) angiography is a promising technique for thoracic aortography that complements electrocardiographically gated T1-weighted spin-echo imaging and cine MR imaging. Axial and left anterior oblique T1- weighted spin-echo images are well suited to measurement of aortic dimensions and evaluation of aortic aneurysms. Sagittal and coronal spin-echo images are helpful in evaluation of vascular rings and aortic dissection. Cine gradient-echo and cine phase-contrast imaging allow dynamic evaluation of aortic and valvular flow. Cine phase-contrast imaging also enables noninvasive quantification of blood flow. Capable of being performed during a single breath hold, 3D gadolinium-enhanced MR angiography provides high-resolution 3D data that can be readily used for projection angiography and multiplanar reformation. This technique enables further demonstration of subtle pathologic conditions. Three-dimensional gadolinium-enhanced MR angiography allows more comprehensive and efficient evaluation of the thoracic aorta.
