Fig. 2 MR angiogram demonstrates a critical stenosis in the ICA (arrow). Note loss of MR signal at the site of stenosis with immediate vessel reconstitution. We interpret this finding as a 99% stenosis.

Fig. 3 Vessel seen on MR in Fig. 2 is seen in anteroposterior projection on a conventional angiogram. A critical stenosis is seen in the proximal ICA.

Fig. 4 Relationship between ICA luminal diameter reduction measurements as determined by 3-D MR angiography and conventional angiography is plotted. Linear regression is represented by the solid line. The line of identity is represented by the broken line. When compared with conventional angiography, MR typically overestimates the degree of luminal reduction.
