β¦ Synopsis
Contrast-enhanced digital subtraction dynamic MR angiography has been applied to lower limb arteries, with accuracy comparable to that of conventional angiography. Application of this technique to hands has not been reported. A 2-year-old girl with a diffuse haemangioma of the right hand elegantly demonstrated by MR angiogram is presented. The feeding vessel and the relationship with surrounding palmar blood vessels were clearly identified. This provided essential preoperative information facilitating surgical resection, yet without the technical difficulties and morbidity associated with conventional angiography.
