AB  - The clinical value of three-dimensional time-of-flight magnetic resonance 
      angiography (3D-TOF-MRA) was assessed in 15 patients with intracranial venous 
      angiomas (VAs), by comparing results thereof with those of postcontrast 
      T1-weighted MR images (MRIs). All 15 VAs were identified both on the postcontrast 
      MRIs and MRAs. The MRAs surpassed the MRIs in imaging entire structures, 
      including the draining veins of the supratentorial VAs. For the infratentorial 
      VAs, the MRAs and the MRIs were of equal value. Although the addition of MRA to 
      the MRI procedure incurs more time and expense, the complete structure of the VA 
      can thereby be identified three-dimensionally on MRA. Conventional angiography is 
      apparently not required for the confirmation of a VA. Thus, it is concluded that 
      MRA is very useful for diagnosing VAs.
