Contrast-enhanced bolus-chased whole-body MR angiography using a moving tabletop and quadrature body coil acquisition.
OBJECTIVE
MR angiography is now an established technique for the evaluation of various arterial structures. With recent developments in hardware, whole-body imaging has become technically feasible. The aim of this study is to describe a technique for whole-body MR angiography using a quadrature body coil and a moving tabletop.


CONCLUSIONS
Whole-body MR angiography is technically feasible and may offer a method of screening for unsuspected disease.
