title: Magnetic resonance angiography. Application to the peripheral circulation.
abstract: Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) for application in the musculoskeletal system is progressing at a rapid pace. The clinical role of this new technique is still being developed, although a number of uses have already become well recognized, and MRA is diffusing into clinical practice. This article describes the basic fundamentals of MRA as it applies to the peripheral circulation and to the evaluation of potential clinical procedures.
