Menke, J. and Larsen, J.Meta-analysis: accuracy of contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography for assessing steno-occlusions in peripheral arterial diseaseAnnals of Internal Medicine2010Vol. 153 No. 5pp. 325-334

This generally well-conducted review concluded that magnetic resonance angiography had high accuracy for identifying or excluding clinically relevant arterial stenosis or occlusion in adults with symptomatic peripheral artery disease. Despite some limitations of the available evidence, the conclusion of the review is likely to be reliable.
