Magnetic Resonance Angiography using blood pool contrast agents accurately images multiple donor sites in single study to identify small caliber perforator vessels and map their exact anatomy with respect to surface anatomic landmarks without exposing patients to ionizing radiation. This decreases operative time and post operative complications. This presentation will detail our experience with contrast enhanced MRA of multiple donor site for harvesting free flap for autologous breast reconstruction in over 100 mastectomy patients.
