This volume provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of development in magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). The basic principles of the technique are outlined and a general description of flow phenomena is provided. Thereafter individual chapters are devoted to a full range of technical considerations. Practical recommendations for typical examination protocols for different vascular areas and lesions are provided to facilitate correct application of the technique. Advantages and drawbacks of MRA are discussed, comparisons with other imaging techniques are offered, and a catalogue of generally accepted indications is provided. To complete the coverage, future likely developments are presented.
