MR imaging brain with and without contrast DWI and ADC: assess for acute ischemia ASL: evaluate for asymmetric perfusion that can identify arteriovenous shunting FLAIR: sensitive for edema or gliosis related to VMs SWI: most sensitive for evidence of hemorrhage or microhemorrhage T1-weighted pre and postcontrast: differentiate intrinsic T1 shortening from enhancement High-resolution 3D postcontrast: most sensitive sequence for small HHT-related shunting AVMs and nonshunting capillary malformations High-resolution 3D T2-weighted: sensitive for edema or gliosis related to VMs MRA head Obtain TOF images from skull base to vertex (“whole head” MRA) because VMs can occur anywhere in brain parenchyma, not just near the circle of Willis
