  Currently the major aim in peripheral vascular malformation (PVM) diagnosis, crucial for subsequent management and treatment, is to identify its hemodynamic characteristics. Other significant features that should be specified by a radiologist is the exact location of the anomaly, its size and morphology. Until recently the diagnostic methods available for comprehensive evaluation of malformations have been rather limited. Moreover, they were often associated with the necessity of exposing the patient to X-ray radiation and with invasive procedures, as for example in angiography. The development of imaging techniques used in the diagnosis of vascular abnormalities in recent years, especially magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), has largely contributed to improved diagnostic value of the tests. In this article we review the currently available imaging modalities with particular considerati.. View More»
