MRI for Vascular Pelvis (Procedures) - Video Lesson

Hey, everyone. Welcome to today's lesson on magnetic resonance imaging of the vascular pelvis. In this lesson, we will discuss patient preparation and setup, slice positioning, indications for this exam, protocol sequences, and a couple common imaging challenges associated with this study. Let's get started. An MRI of the vascular pelvis is used to evaluate the pelvic vascular structures, including the iliac arteries, veins, and other associated vasculature. Common indications for this study include leg swelling, iliac artery stenosis, pelvic vein thrombosis, vascular malformations, peripheral vascular disease, and preoperative planning for pelvic vascular interventions. Let's take a look at the patient preparation and setup for this exam. Several steps are best performed prior to positioning the patient on the table
