Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and angiography (MRA) are powerful tools in the noninvasive diagnosis of vascular disease. MRA confers unique advantages over CT in that it is without ionizing radiation or nephrotoxic iodinated contrast. Modern sequences can be used to obtain functional information, which is particularly useful given the pathophysiology of vascular disease.
