3.0-T magnetic resonance (MR) angiography and MR imaging were compared with conventional angiography for the evaluation of moyamoya disease in 13 preoperative patients (26 hemispheres) with moyamoya disease (4 males and 9 females aged 21-54 years). The correlation between MR angiography scores determined by modified Houkin's grading system (MRA score) and conventional angiography stages determined by Suzuki's grading system (CA stage) was analyzed. Other MR findings such as moyamoya vessel scores, "ivy sign" scores, and the presence of small, medium, and large cerebrovascular attack (CVA) lesions were compared with CA stages. MRA scores were significantly correlated with CA stages (p < 0.01). Moyamoya vessel scores correlated well with CA stages (p < 0.01). There was no significant correlation between "ivy sign" scores and CA stages, and no significant differences in CA stages with the presence and absence of CVA lesions of any size. 3.0-T MR angiography can be used as a vascular assessment in moyamoya disease with its priority of noninvasive nature and visual clarity compared with conventional angiography. The findings of 3.0-T MR angiography may reflect the steno-occlusive changes in moyamoya disease.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

D009072 Moyamoya Disease A noninflammatory, progressive occlusion of the intracranial CAROTID ARTERIES and the formation of netlike collateral arteries arising from the CIRCLE OF WILLIS. Cerebral angiogram shows the puff-of-smoke (moyamoya) collaterals at the base of the brain. It is characterized by endothelial HYPERPLASIA and FIBROSIS with thickening of arterial walls. This disease primarily affects children but can also occur in adults.
