MR angiography of the liver.
Recently, several versatile techniques have been developed for performing magnetic resonance (MR) angiography in the body. Relative to MR angiography in the head and neck, these methods require more interactive involvement by a physician to derive their full benefit, but they show great promise in the clinical workup of several vascular problems relating to the liver. This article outlines practical clinical applications for MR angiography of the liver, based on the experience of the authors and others working in the field.
