[Three-dimentiolanl moving-table MR angiography in diagnostic of peripheral arteria diseases].
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to present the method of three-dimentional contrast-enhanced moving-table MR angiography, on the basis of own experience.


METHODS
The 1,5T MR system with moving-table option was used to examin pelvic and peripheral arteries of lower extremities. The body coil was used. The large region of interest was divided into three segments: TOP--pelvis, MID--thight and BOT--leg. MR aquisitions were performed in coronal plane after injection of contrast, given by the automatic two-chamber syringe. Programm IVI were used to obtain 3D reconstructions.


CONCLUSIONS
Three-dimentional contrast-enhanced moving-table MR angiography is accurate, noninvasive diagnostic method for evaluation of peripheral arterial diseases of lower extremities and allows to choose an adequate method of treatment.
