Magnetic resonance applications in atherosclerotic vascular disease.
Magnetic resonance imaging of the cardiovascular system offers great promise in the detection and characterization of the anatomic, physiologic, and biochemical consequences of atherosclerosis. This review will focus on the potential applications of MRI for evaluating atherosclerosis of the abdominal aorta and iliofemoral vessels.
