MRI for Vascular Thorax (Procedures) - Video Lesson

Hey everyone, welcome to today's lesson on the MRI of the Vascular Thorax. In this lesson, will discuss patient setup and slice positioning, indications for this exam, protocol sequences, and discuss some imaging challenges associated with this study. Let's get started. An MRI of the vascular structures of the chest can be used to evaluate the blood vessels of the thorax, including the thoracic aorta, pulmonary arteries, brachiocephalic arteries, subclavian arteries, and superior vena cava. Some common indications for this study include Aortic aneurysms or dissections, aortic coarctation, pulmonary embolism, vascular stenosis or occlusion, thoracic outlet syndrome, congenital vascular anomalies, or vascular trauma.
