Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases still rank number one in terms of morbidity and mortality statistics in the western industrialized world. The majority of these diseases are due to atherosclerotic vessel wall changes. Atherosclerosis gets symptomatic in an advanced stage where vessel wall changes are apparent. Thus an early diagnosis of this disease is desirable. Especially atherosclerosis but also most of the inflammatory vessel diseases are known as systemic in nature. Magnetic resonance angiography offers an excellent and ethically justifiable method for non invasive imaging of the entire arterial vasculature without ionizing radiation. DSA comparable imaging results can be achieved nowadays. Possibilities to perform a whole body MR angiography and concerning imaging protocols are very dependent on the configuration of the available MR scanner.
