The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO)-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the detection of malignant liver tumors. MRI, using fast spin-echo T2-weighted and gradient-echo T1-weighted imagings be

Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) for the planning of interventional procedures in the lower extremity vascular territory. Materials and Methods Patients with peripheral vascular occlusive disease (PVOD) underwent MRA for planning of percutaneous interventional treatment. Digital subtraction angiography was performed in patients scheduled for interventional treatment and served as the standard of reference. Results In 148 out of 150 cases (98.7%), the necessity for an intervention was recognized correctly; 137 out of 150 interventions (91.3%) were correctly planned based on MRA results. Conclusion Contrast-enhanced MRA of the lower extremities is a safe, noninvasive tool for preinterventional assessment of patients with PVOD. It allows exact planning of endovascular interventions.
