Exams include CTA and MRA of all vascular territories, including whole body MRA and CTA. In addition, a large abdominal and thoracic aortic stent graft program allows in depth training in all imaging aspects pertinent to this technology. The full range of cardiac techniques are performed, including stress and perfusion cardiac MR, complex congenital cardiac MR, and coronary CTA.
