Preface
It is with tremendous enthusiasm and excitement that we introduce the book Magnetic Resonance Angiography: Principles and Applications to those who are interested in and involved with the ever-expanding field of magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). Vascular disease remains to this day the central cause for many serious clinical conditions, such as stroke, myocardial infarction, and peripheral arterial disease, each of which can precipitate further downstream complications, which can ultimately lead to serious morbidity and death in many individuals. While huge progress has been made to develop novel therapies for vascular pathologies, such as minimally invasive endovascular stents and stem cell therapies, much of these approaches still depend on an accurate depiction of the appearance and extent of abnormal
