• For uterine transplantation, pelvic MRI with MRA provides information of the uterine structure and of the diameters of uterine arteries in living donors. • Failure of MRA to demonstrate uterine arteries could be followed by CTA which will visualize the uterine arteries in a majority of cases. If MRA and additional CTA provide inconclusive results, the uterine arteries should be further evaluated by DSA. • Information of CTA can be used in the angio-system for DSA settings to minimize the radiation and contrast media doses.
