Disease of the blood vessels in the legs can be detected in the hospital by Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA)- this uses a device that acts like a large magnet. MRA is used to test how healthy the blood vessels are and if there are any blockages. We will test a new method to see how helpful it is to quickly get good pictures and if this is useful for testing the patients with disease of the blood vessels in other regions of the body.

Heart disease can be detected in the hospital by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR)- a device that uses a large magnet. CMR is used to test how healthy the heart muscle is and how well the heart is pumping. We will test a new method to see how helpful it is to quickly get good pictures and if this is useful for testing the health of heart muscle in patients with heart disease.
