Abstract:

The article describes results of analysis of five years of experience in the use of magnetic resonance angiography in the diagnosis of lesions of lower limb arteries. This method was used in survey of 489 patients with lesions of the abdominal aorta, arteries of the pelvis and lower limbs. Coverage of this study patients with abnormal lower limb arteries was 14.8%. Features of MR angiographic imaging, advantages and limitations of the method, the relationship with the method X-ray angiography are discussed.
