title: [Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) of the abdominal aorta and its branches].
abstract: Technical aspects of 3D contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography are exposed, detailing more particularly the pulse sequence used and the mode of injection of contrast agent. Then, various vascular territories are analyzed, and illustrated using various examples of main pathologies observed in routine clinical practice: abdominal aorta, renal arteries, pelvic and mesenteric vessels, and peripheral arteries.
