Abstract
OBJECTIVE. The goal of this investigation was to develop a technique for pr oducing high-resolution gadolinium-enhanced MR images of the hand that show three-dimensional angiographic anatomy and permit measurement of distal so ft-tissue perfusion. CONCLUSION. High-resolution MR angiograms of the hand, as well as qualitati ve perfusion information, can be produced using a rapid sequential gadolini um-enhanced th-ree-dimensional gradient-echo technique.
