Background: Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and intra-arterial digital subtraction angiography (DSA) both have a high diagnostic performance in the imaging of peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD). However, little is known about the effects of initial, preoperative imaging using MRA or DSA on quality of life (QoL) in relation to costs (cost-utility).

Purpose: To compare cost-utility of treatment strategies using either MRA or DSA as the principal imaging tool, related to QoL, in patients with PAOD.

Purpose: Primary aim of our study was to prospectively evaluate the feasibility of automated carbon dioxide (CO(2)) delivery as luminal distending agent in 3.0T MR colonography.

Materials And Methods: Rectally insufflated CO(2) was evaluated in four groups with different bowel preparation (A-D).

Objectives: To prospectively determine the feasibility of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) with fibre tractography as a tool for the three-dimensional (3D) visualisation of normal pelvic floor anatomy.

Methods: Five young female nulliparous subjects (mean age 28 ± 3 years) underwent DTI at 3.0T.

Purpose: To report a patient with a ruptured diverticulum of Kommerell and to discuss treatment options and complications.

Case Report: An 82-year-old woman with no prior medical history was diagnosed with a ruptured aneurysmal proximal aberrant right subclavian artery (diverticulum of Kommerell). She was treated with a carotid-subclavian bypass, a thoracic aortic stent-graft covering both subclavian orifices, and a vascular plug in the proximal right subclavian artery.
