Diagram of the whole body magnetic resonance angiography stations and arterial segments.

<p>Maximum intensity projection image derived from the whole body angiogram from a typical patient in the study lies on the far left. To the right of this are the 4 overlapping 3D volume acquisitions acquired with a breakdown of the 31 arterial segments according to which station they are acquired in.</p
