AB  - Traditionally, catheter angiography (CA) has been the mainstay of diagnosis for 
      mesenteric arterial diseases. However, CA is invasive and is associated with 
      complications that result from the procedure itself, depending on the experience 
      of the operators, site of vascular access, ionized radiation that could be 
      significant when combined with interventional procedures, and administered 
      contrast material. During the past 2 decades, technical improvements in computed 
      tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance hardware and methods have contributed new, 
      noninvasive tools, specifically CT angiography (CTA) and 3-dimensional 
      gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (3D Gd-MRA). This article 
      outlines the current applications, strengths, and weaknesses of CTA and 3D Gd-MRA 
      in imaging of the mesenteric vessels.
