O-026 Incremental value of arterial spin labeling (ASL) over conventional MRI sequences in the detection of intracranial arteriovenous malformations in patients with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT)

ConclusionsOur findings underscore the incremental value of ASL in addition to conventional MRI sequences as a screening tool in the detection of brain AVMs in patients with HHT. ASL was more sensitive than conventional contrast-enhanced MRI alone, potentially improving diagnostic accuracy in this patient population with many small AVMs. These findings further highlight the need for further research to explore the benefits of integrating ASL sequences into the initial evaluation and routine follow-up of patients with sporadic and HHT-related brain AVMs.Abstract O-026 Figure 1Disclosures W.
