Overview
Gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) may be helpful in the diagnosis of Buerger's disease, as it is able to visualize vessels. However, MRA lacks spatial resolution in visualizing the vessels of the hands and feets, where pathology is commonly found in Buerger's disease.

Gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) may be helpful in the diagnosis of Buerger's disease, as it is able to visualize vessels. However, MRA lacks spatial resolution in visualizing the vessels of the hands and feets, where pathology is commonly found in Buerger's disease.[1]
