Was dieser Beitrag bietet

Für die KM-gestützte MRA der Becken- und Beinarterien werden verschiedene technische Ansätze und verschiedene Kontrastmittelkonzepte dargestellt. Daran schließt sich ein Überblick über die aktuellen Daten klinischer Studien und die klinische Relevanz der Untersuchung an. Schließlich werden die Qualitätsanforderungen und abschließend die Perspektiven der KM-gestützten MRA genannt.
