Digital ischaemia is an uncommon pathology, with an incidence of two cases per 100,000 people per year.1 Diagnosis is mainly based on clinical symptoms: the patient presents a painful digital extremity with signs of ischaemia (blue finger) or even necrosis. Clinical context and medical history are also important to determine the aetiology of digital ischaemia.
The role of imaging modalities is…

Atherosclerosis is a generalised disease and contributes to cardiac death, stroke, limb loss and a range of other illnesses. Disease in the major arteries, including the infra-renal abdominal aorta, internal iliac arteries, renal arteries and peripheral vasculature, remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality. For example, the prevalence of disease in the infra-renal abdominal aorta ranges…

Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (ce-MRA) has become an established and routinely used imaging modality and has largely replaced invasive diagnostic digital subtraction angiography (DSA). There have been ongoing technical developments in magnetic gradient hardware, coil design and pulse sequence design for ce-MRA, resulting in an increased spatial and temporal resolution. The…

Since its introduction in 1993,1 contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (ce-MRA) has been considered the technique of choice for angiographic examination of most regions of the body. This is because of several technical and clinical advantages in comparison with non-contrast-enhanced MRA (nce-MRA) imaging. In this article, we focus on patients with suspected peripheral arterial…

In recent years, magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) of the peripheral vascular tree has evolved into a widely available and valuable technique in the diagnostic and pre-interventional work-up of patients with peripheral arterial disease. Numerous studies have demonstrated the diagnostic accuracy of MRA for the assessment of abdominal and peripheral arteries, and in many hospitals the technique…
