Abstract:
A large range of new techniques and applications in magnetic resonance imaging has been introduced in the last decade. Correspondingly, a wide variety of contrast media has become available for different imaging strategies. This article reviews the main indications and techniques in magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance angiography of the body with special regard to contrast media applications and its impact on improved detection and characterization of pathologies in thoracic and abdominal MRI.
