Abstract:
The Society for Magnetic Resonance Angiography (SMRA) is a group of researchers and clinicians who are passionate about the benefits of MR angiography (MRA) but understand its challenges. Their mission is to study MRA, continually improve and innovate for the benefit of patients, and most important, educate the medical community so they can take full advantage of the benefits of MRA and overcome its challenges. In support of that mission, the authors have created a series of self-learning modules on behalf of the SMRA to demystify MRA protocols and help the reader perform patient-friendly high-quality MRA on a routine basis in clinical practice. The full digital presentation is available online. ©RSNA, 2021.
