PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The skill of the technologist is the single most important factor in the acquisition of high-quality diagnostic images. A successful MRI examination is the culmination of many variables under the direct control of the technologist, including imaging technique, patient safety, and the use of contrast-enhanced imaging agents. Comprehension of the physics of MRI, fundamental pulse sequences, the selection of appropriate imaging parameters based on the exam requirements, and the advantages of MRI for use in diagnosis of the individual body systems is the responsibility of the radiologic technologist to ensure safe and effective patient care.
ACCREDITATION AND CREDIT
This program has been approved by the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) for up to 22.5 ARRT Category A continuing education credits.

This unit familiarizes the learner with basic physics of MRA, the role of contrast–enhanced MRA, bolus detection techniques, and MRA image and data postprocessing techniques. MRA of the body and magnetic resonance venography (MRV) will also be covered.
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
After completing this educational activity, the reader will be able to:
- Describe the role of gadolinium-based contrast agents in vascular imaging
- Explain the role of phase contrast and time-of-flight imaging to create images using magnetic resonance angiography
- Discuss bolus detection techniques and timing methods
- Recognize patient risk factors and respond to the most common adverse patient reactions to MRI contrast media
- Identify common postprocessing reconstructions used in MRA
- List the imaging techniques used in MRA and MRV for various portions of the vasculature, including those that benefit from the use of contrast enhancement
- Describe how peripheral run-off images are acquired with contrast media using a stepping table
