Abstract
Peripheral magnetic resonance (MR) angiography was performed in eight volunteers, with a temperature-controlled water blanket. After warming of the right foot, unobserved vessels became conspicuous in all patients: Average increase in signal intensity was nearly twofold in the major artery and vein depicted. A similar improvement was observed in an examination in one patient with diabetes. Peripheral MR angiography performed after warming provided additional diagnostic information.
