the role of magnEtic resonance ANGIOGRAPHY in cerebral infarction

Abstract

In this study the researcher assessed the efficiency of MRA in evaluate and detect the level of cerebral infarction. This study was conducted at MRI department in Khartoum Advanced Diagnostic Center (KADC), extended from April 2005 up to October 2005. This study contains five chapters: Chapter one consists of introduction and research proposal, which consists of objective of the study, hypotheses, important of the study, methodology and the scope of the study. Chapter two is a literature review, which consists of an anatomy, physiology and pathology of the brain, MRA appearance, equipments and MRI/ MRA advantages and disadvantages. Chapter three deals with the material, method and films evaluation. Which consists of patients (30) are examined by MRI machine (Philips) and techniques which is performed to detect the level of cerebral infarction. Chapter four consists of results and data analysis. Chapter five consists of discussion, conclusion and recommendations. It can by said that the MRA technique when performed and used as essential technique to detect the level of cerebral infarction that help to obtain accurate diagnosis and demonstrate the pathological changes and anatomical variation
