Abstract
A method of three-station three-dimensional magnetic resonance (MR) angiogr aphy of the lower extremities with segmented volume acquisition is presente d. Three-dimensional MR angiographic data were acquired in two passes, with the central re-space views acquired during the arterial phase for the more proximal stations. This allowed a faster bolus injection rate and potentia lly improved visualization of the tibioperoneal arteries.
