This study evaluated the use of 4D flow MRI to assess hemodynamic changes to cerebral arteriovenous malformations after stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). As a comparison, structural changes of AVMs were measured on T₂W single shot fast spin echo (SSFSE) and time-of-flight (TOF) angiography. Hemodynamic changes, including reduction in feeding arterial flow and draining venous flow, preceded structural changes including arterial circumference and nidus volume for large arteriovenous malformations. This study demonstrated the potential utility of 4D flow MRI as a robust tool to supplement existing imaging techniques and measure early treatment response after stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS).
