Fig. 4 A, MRI in transverse plane demonstrates normal popliteal arterial flow and cross-sectional anatomy. B, MRI in same patient demonstrates positional arterial occlusion at level of soleal sling (arrow). Artery shows bright white.C, Reformatted MRA shows normal popliteal artery. D, Images in same patient demonstrate occlusion of popliteal artery with positioning (arrow).
