Title: MR Diagnosis and differential diagnosis of intra-muscular low-flow vascular malformation
Abstract: Objective:To investigate the value of MR in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of intra-muscular low-flow vascular malformation.Methods: Nineteen cases of intra-muscular low-flow vascular malformation was retrospectively analyzed.All the patients were given MR scanning before surgery and they were all proved by operation,pathology or clinical follow-up.Results: The MR findings of intra-muscular low-flow vascular malformation included heterogenous signal on all sequences(isointense on T1WI,relatively hyperintense on T2WI),peripheral or intralesional fat(14/19),phleboliths(10/19),fliud-fliud level(11/19),heterogenous contrast signal.Conclusion: MR provides reliable evidence in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of intra-muscular low-flow vascular malformation and is the best examination for this disease.
