MR angiography for assessment of peripheral vascular disease

Radiol Clin North Am. 2002 Jul;40(4):835-46. doi: 10.1016/s0033-8389(02)00021-0.

Abstract

Contrast-enhanced 3D MRA is emerging as a powerful noninvasive imaging modality for the assessment of patients with PVD. Its clinical utility using current technology has already been well established, and the continuous development of hard- and software will likely result in significantly improved performance. Thus, Gd-enhanced MRA is likely to emerge as the dominant noninvasive imaging modality for PVD worldwide.
