Abstract
In the five years since MRI has become widely available, numerous promising vascular applications have been described. No other modality is as versatile in its ability to image and characterize anatomy and blood flow. While the use of MRI for vascular diagnosis is likely to increase as technical developments improve its efficacy, there are certain applications for which MRI can be used effectively, where available. There include detection of aortic pathology in patients who are hemodynamically stable and detection of venous thrombosis or occlusion. Other applications, such as detection and characterization of arterial stenoses and flow measurement, are likely to be important in the future, but technical improvements and clinical trials are necessary before widespread application will occur.
