Abstract

Obstructive arterial disease of the lower extremities is an extremely common disease in western countries that requires an accurate diagnosis for a correct treatment planning. The examination of choice for the assessment of patients with obstructive arterial disease is X-ray angiography, which allows for the correct demonstration of arterial anatomy. Nevertheless, its invasiveness has led to the development of non-invasive examinations. In many arterial districts, X-ray angiography has been progressively substituted by non-invasive examinations, among which are magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and computed tomography angiography (CTA). In the assessment of the peripheral arterial district, due to the length of the volume to be examined, CTA could not be proposed because of technical limitations. On the contrary, contrast-enhanced MRA (c.e.) provides excellent results in a fairly short acquisition time and has increasingly substituted X-ray angiography in several centers.
