Fifty-nine patients with occlusive disease of the aorto-iliac and femoro-popliteal arteries were investigated prospectively by intravenous (IV) or intraarterial (IA) digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). This was accomplished using a two-dimensional (2D) Inflow- (59 patients) and a 2D Phase Contrast- (RSE--rapid sequential excitation) sequence (29 patients). The spectrum of pathology included stenoses < 50%, stenoses 50-89%, stenoses 90-99%, occlusions, aneurysms and status following reconstructive surgery. MRA- and DSA-examinations were evaluated by four radiologists. The diagnoses were made by consent decisions of a radiologist and a vascular surgeon based on clinical and radiological findings. Diagnostic performance of IA-DSA was superior to all other imaging modalities. Vascular delineation of 2D Inflow-MRA was comparable to that of IV-DSA. The image quality of RSE-MRA was not adequate for diagnosis. In conclusion, 2D Inflow-MRA is a promising method for evaluating abdominal and peripheral arteriosclerotic disease. Interpretation of MR-angiograms, however, requires profound knowledge of MRA-techniques, X-ray angiography and hemodynamics.
