Capillary telangiectasia has mild contrast material enhancement but is otherwise undetectable on conventional MR images. It lacks the "hemosiderin rim" of cavernous angioma and demonstrates increased susceptibility only on GRE images, likely owing to blood oxygen-level-dependent contrast. GRE is essential in diagnosing brain capillary telangiectasia, which could otherwise be misdiagnosed as neoplasia, subacute infarction, or demyelination.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
