title: MR angiography of the abdominal aorta and peripheral vessels.
abstract: Contrast-enhanced MRA can be an accurate and reliable method for the arterial evaluation of the abdominal aorta and peripheral vessels. This technique can be adapted for a variety of anatomic regions. The basic issues relate to proper synchronization of imaging with peak arterial enhancement and to optimization of voxel dimensions for adequate depiction of the arterial structures.
