[Magnetic resonance imaging of the mediastinal vessels in pediatric patients].

The appearance of new and better magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques have made the MRI a very important imaging method for the evaluation of thoracic vessels in pediatrics. The 3D angio-MRI using GD is capable of clearly demonstrating the morphology of the aorta and pulmonary vessels. The MRI may significantly reduce the number of angiographies needed and, in some patients, may even provide additional information to the angiography.
