CT angiography and MRI of hand vascular lesions: technical considerations and spectrum of imaging findings

Abstract: Vascular lesions of the hand are common and are distinct from vascular lesions elsewhere because of the terminal vascular network in this region, the frequent hand exposure to trauma and microtrauma, and the superficial location of the lesions. Vascular lesions in the hand may be secondary to local pathology, a proximal source of emboli, or systemic diseases with vascular compromise. In most cases, ischaemic conditions are investigated with Doppler ultrasonography. However, computed tomography angiography (CTA… Show more

“…Vascular lesions of the hand are unique and more difficult to image because of the terminal vascular network, thus, to guarantee a high-quality exam the hand should be evaluated independently and not as part of an upper limb protocol [46 ▪▪ ]. Conventional angiography is the gold standard for vascular abnormalities.…”

“…Breast cancer [ 5 ] is the malignant disease threat to women's health, and axillary lymph node cleaning could obtain a certain effect but would increase in patients with upper limb nerve damage and the risk of complications such as lymphedema, so the prognosis assessment had an important influence [ 6 ]. MRI technology had the advantage of high tissue resolution, and the combination of the gradient echo imaging sequence and the paramagnetic contrast agent could obtain accurate results in the pathological staging diagnosis of breast cancer [ 7 , 8 ].…”
