Abstract

In a comparison of conventional and magnetic resonance (MR) angiography of the lower extremities, MR imaging was performed with extremity and body coils and a unilateral six-coil telescopic phased-array coil. In one of seven volunteers, average signal-to-noise ratio was 140% higher with the latter (p < .01), only three of five stations were necessary, and examination time was decreased 50%. In the four patients, correlation in findings was 100%.
