With technological advances in magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), spatial resolution of 1-mm perforating vessels can reliably be visualized and accurately located in reference to patients' anatomic landmarks without exposing patients to ionizing radiation or iodinated contrast, resulting in optimal perforator selection, improved flap design, and increased surgical efficiency. As their experience with MRA in breast reconstruction has increased, the authors have made changes to their MRA protocol that allow imaging of the vasculature in multiple donor sites (buttock, abdomen, and upper thigh) in one study. This article provides details of this experience with multiple donor site contrast-enhanced MRA.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D002081 Buttocks Either of two fleshy protuberances at the lower posterior section of the trunk or HIP in humans and primate on which a person or animal sits, consisting of gluteal MUSCLES and fat. Gluteal Region,Buttock,Gluteal Regions,Region, Gluteal,Regions, Gluteal
D003287 Contrast Media Substances used to allow enhanced visualization of tissues. Radiopaque Media,Contrast Agent,Contrast Agents,Contrast Material,Contrast Materials,Radiocontrast Agent,Radiocontrast Agents,Radiocontrast Media,Agent, Contrast,Agent, Radiocontrast,Agents, Contrast,Agents, Radiocontrast,Material, Contrast,Materials, Contrast,Media, Contrast,Media, Radiocontrast,Media, Radiopaque
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D013524 Surgical Flaps Tongues of skin and subcutaneous tissue, sometimes including muscle, cut away from the underlying parts but often still attached at one end. They retain their own microvasculature which is also transferred to the new site. They are often used in plastic surgery for filling a defect in a neighboring region. Island Flap,Island Flaps,Flap, Surgical,Flaps, Surgical,Pedicled Flap,Surgical Flap,Flap, Island,Flap, Pedicled,Flaps, Island,Flaps, Pedicled,Pedicled Flaps
D013848 Thigh The superior part of the lower extremity between the HIP and the KNEE. Thighs
D016462 Mammaplasty Surgical reconstruction of the breast including both augmentation and reduction. Breast Reconstruction,Mammoplasty,Breast Reconstructions,Mammaplasties,Mammoplasties,Reconstruction, Breast,Reconstructions, Breast
D018810 Magnetic Resonance Angiography Non-invasive method of vascular imaging and determination of internal anatomy without injection of contrast media or radiation exposure. The technique is used especially in CEREBRAL ANGIOGRAPHY as well as for studies of other vascular structures. Angiography, Magnetic Resonance,MRI Angiography,Perfusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging,Perfusion Weighted MRI,Angiographies, MRI,Angiographies, Magnetic Resonance,Angiography, MRI,MRI Angiographies,MRI, Perfusion Weighted,Magnetic Resonance Angiographies
D034861 Abdominal Wall The outer margins of the ABDOMEN, extending from the osteocartilaginous thoracic cage to the PELVIS. Though its major part is muscular, the abdominal wall consists of at least seven layers: the SKIN, subcutaneous fat, deep FASCIA; ABDOMINAL MUSCLES, transversalis fascia, extraperitoneal fat, and the parietal PERITONEUM. Wall, Abdominal
