Why the study?
What are the reference values of vessel diameters, stenosis prevalence, and arterial variations of the lower limb arteries in a male population sample using contrast-enhanced MR angiography?
What are the reference values of vessel diameters, stenosis prevalence, and arterial variations of the lower limb arteries in a male population sample using contrast-enhanced MR angiography?
The study establishes reference values for lower limb artery diameters and variations in men using contrast-enhanced MR angiography, noting that diameters increase with age and stenoses are most common in the lower leg.
We present reference values for different pelvic and leg artery segment diameters in men that decrease from proximal to distal and increase with age. Stenoses were most prevalent in lower leg arteries and type I-A was the most common variant in the lower leg.
