Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVE: Current MRI technology and postprocessing tools have enabled 3D contrast-enhanced MR angiography (MRA) to evolve into a first-line noninvasive diagnostic tool to evaluate vascular disorders. CONCLUSION: In this article, 3D MRA techniques, bolus timing issues, new IV contrast agents allowing a steady-state acquisition, principals of postprocessing, and unenhanced MRA techniques are reviewed and how to effectively use 3D gadolinium-enhanced MRA for peripheral arterial imaging is described.
