Magnetic resonance imaging of the vascular system: a practical approach for the radiologist.
Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (CE-MRA) has benefited from rapid technologic developments, including specific hardware and pulse sequence design. This article provides a brief practical overview of technique together with clinical examples of utility in daily application, from the view of an interventional radiologist. CE-MRA is rapidly replacing catheter-based diagnostic angiography for examination of the carotid arteries, aorta, renal arteries, and lower extremity.
