title: Peripheral magnetic resonance angiography.
abstract: Magnetic Resonance Angiography [MRA] has become a useful imaging modality in the evaluation of vascular anatomy and a variety of vascular disorders in the last several years. Many recent publications have demonstrated that MRA can be an accurate, fast and safe tool in the workup of patients with lower extremity ischemia. It has become a less invasive alternative to catheter angiography, and in some radiology departments MRA has replaced conventional catheter angiography in the initial workup of lower extremity ischemia.
