Comparison of Multistation MR Angiography with Integrated Parallel Acquisition Technique versus Conventional Technique with a Dedicated Phased-array Coil System in Peripheral Vascular Disease

iPAT MR angiography leads to reduced SNR and CNR in the pelvis and thigh, but this does not affect interpretability of images obtained at these stations. The temporal gain results in significantly increased interpretability as a result of less venous contamination in the calf station. iPAT MR angiography is superior to conventional MR angiography for peripheral imaging.
