Non Contrast-Enhanced 3D MR Angiography of Renal Arteries using a Novel Inversion Recovery Steady State Free Precession Technique: Our Initial Experience

Figure 2. (A) Non contrast IR-SSFP MRA in a patient with transplanted right kidney demonstrates a mild less than 50% luminal narrowing at the anastamosis (long white arrow) with ipsilateral native right distal common iliac artery (short arrow). First order branches (arrowheads) are unremarkable. (B) Non contrast IR-SSFP MRA in a patient with transplanted right kidney demonstrates normal transplant renal artery arising from the distal right common iliac artery (short arrow) without a focal significant stenosis. Note normal first order (arrowhead) and intrarenal (long arrows) branches which are well depicted. CE-MRA was not performed for either patient as per physician request.
