Title / Titel	Normal values of aortic diameters in children assessed in vivo by contrast-enhanced MR angiography
PDF	Abstract (PDF, 14 KB)
Summary / Zusammenfassung	Magnetic Resonance angiography is increasingly used for pre- and postoperative evaluation and for follow-up of progressive vascular disease, such as Marfan syndrome. Normal values of the vascular size of the aorta, assessed by this specific technique do not exhist for children. Aim of the study is to assess the normal size of the different segments of the aorta in children, measured on MR angiography images. The measurement are performed on pre-exhisting datasets of children without cardiovascular disease, undergoing MRangiography for different clinical reasons.
