Abstract
With the advent of ultrasound (US), Doppler and color-flow Doppler imaging, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) the ability for non-invasive studies of the abdominal vasculature has been enhanced considerably. In this paper an overview on various abdominal vascular pathologies is presented. Because of the dramatic improvements in image quality, special emphasis is given on the potential role of breathhold contrast-enhanced three-dimensional (3D) MRA which appears to be a versatile non-invasive alternative to conventional angiography.
