Magnetic resonance phase contrast velocity measurement for non-invasive follow up after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty

Magnetic resonance angiography

MRA and MRI have become increasingly important diagnostic modalities in vascular surgery. The ability to obtain cross-sectional and angiographic images by these noninvasive and non-nephrotoxic modalities represents one of the most significant advances in vascular surgery over the past decade. We review the current status of MRI and MRA in vascular surgical practice.
