AVMs be diagnosed primarily by de following imaging methods:[2]

  • Computed tomography (CT) scan
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan
  • Magnetic resonance angiography

AVMs fi occur insyd various parts of de body:

  • brain (cerebral AV malformation)
  • spleen[3]
  • lung[4][5]
  • kidney[6]
  • spinal cord[7]
  • liver[8]
