Contrast‐enhanced peripheral MR angiography at 3.0 Tesla: Initial experience with a whole‐body scanner in healthy volunteers

Abstract

Contrast-enhanced peripheral MRA is possible at 3.0 T when an imaging protocol similar to a current state-of-the-art 1.5 T protocol is used. Objective and subjective image quality at 3.0 T is comparable for the iliac and upper legs but better for the popliteal and lower leg arteries.
