  • Title: Magnetic resonance angiography of the abdomen.
    Author: Müller MF, Edelman RR.
    Journal: Gastroenterol Clin North Am; 1995 Jun; 24(2):435-56. PubMed ID: 7642251.
    Abstract:
    The applications of abdominal MR angiography have been slow as compared with its applications in the head and neck mainly because of greater technical difficulties in dealing with respiratory motion and the use of the body coil, which has a poorer signal-to-noise ratio than head or surface coils. Further work is needed to reduce motion sensitivity and improve spatial resolution. Flow contrast and depiction of slowly flowing blood could be improved with the use of intravascular contrast agents. 52MR angiography is the imaging method of choice in the evaluation of the portal venous system, systemic veins, and aortic disease. With further technical improvements, it seems likely that applications of MR angiography will also be extended to smaller vessels.
