Imaging modalities such as Echocolor-Doppler, CT, and MRI can be employed in the evaluation of vascular malformations’ in order to describe their size, flow velocity, flow direction, and relationship with the surrounding structures, and, even more important, to differentiate between different types of malformations, since treatment modalities differ depending on their nature (low- vs high-flow).
