- to know the several techniques that are available for the preoperative mapping of perforating vessels: Doppler ultrasound, computed tomography-angiography (CTA), and, more recently, magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). - to emphasize the role of MRA for being a technique free of ionizing radiation and provides accurate anatomical information. Despite being a minority issue in the field of radiology , advances in reconstructive surgery perforator flaps make it necessary to deep in the knowledge of this technique. - to know different techniques MRA and advances in non contrast enhanced MRA.

-Review of MRA techniques used in mapping perforators. -MRA applications in DIEP, gluteal, thigh and lower limb flaps.
