Ferumoxytol is a promising non-gadolinium-based contrast agent with numerous varied magnetic resonance imaging applications. Previous reviews of vascular applications have focused primarily on cardiac and aortic applications. After considering safety concerns and technical issues, the objective of this paper is to explore peripheral applications for ferumoxytol-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and venography (MRV) in the upper and lower extremities. Separate searches for each of the following keywords were performed in pubmed: ferumoxytol, ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide, and USPIO. All studies pertaining to MRA or MRV in humans are included in this review. Case-based examples of various peripheral applications are used to supplement a relatively scant literature in this space. Ferumoxytol's unique properties including high T1 relaxivity and prolonged intravascular half-life make it the optimal vascular imaging contrast agent on the market and one whose vast potential has only begun to be tapped.
