Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate magnetic resonance angiography (MR A) images of the small vessels of the hand´s fingers, with the use of the new MRA blood pool contrast and the custom software. The software not only visualizes the hand vascularity but also estimates the blood vessel volume in each finger along with the volume of remaining tissues. Analysis results for sample image sets were presented and discussed.
