Abstract

Bolus-chase MRA is revolutionizing the management of peripheral vascular disease. It is now possible to rapidly image the arterial anatomy of the entire lower half of the body in a simple, safe, fast examination with no ionizing radiation, no arterial catherterization, and no nephrotoxicity. Preliminary reports suggest that "whole-body MRA" using five fields of view and extremely rapid scanning techniques will allow depiction of whole body atherosclerotic burden (excluding the coronary arteries) using a hybrid of the technique presented here.25 This will increasingly allow general practitioners and internists to participate more actively in the management of these patients.
