AB  - SUMMARY: Brain AVMs treated with stereotactic radiosurgery typically demonstrate a minimum latency period of 1–3 years between treatment and nidus obliteration. Assessment of treatment response is usually limited to evaluation of AVM nidus structural changes using conventional MR imaging and MRA techniques. This report describes the use of 4D Flow MRI to also measure radiation-induced hemodynamic changes in a Spetzler-Martin grade III AVM, which were detectable as early as 6 months after treatment.SRSstereotactic radiosurgery
