General introduction In chapter 6 we present our experience and our guidelines to perform a sc-GAP flap. In chapter 7 we analyze the accuracy of equilibrium-phase high spatial resolution (EP) contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (CE-MRA) at 1.5T for the preoperative evaluation of perforators of the deep inferior epigastria artery and vein, constituting the pedicle of the DIEP (deep inferior epigastric perforator) flap. In chapter 8 a new application of the septocutaneous tensor fasciae latae flap for breast reconstruction is presented. Radiological data support the clinical application of the flap. In chapter 9 additionally the most common recipient vessels in per- forator flap surgery, the internal mammary artery and vein, are evaluated on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). 14
