Fig. 1A 68-year-old man with suspected renovascular hypertension.
Coronal and axial subvolume maximum intensity projections (MIPs) from
navigator-gated steady-state free precession (Nav SSFP) MR angiography
(A and C) and contrast-enhanced MR angiography (CE-MRA)
(B and D) show concordance for normal right renal artery (0% on
CE-MRA, 11% on Nav SSFP MR angiography) and high-grade left renal artery
stenosis (arrows) of 95% on CE-MRA and 82% on Nav SSFP. Note that
there appears to be more than 11% stenosis on Nav SSFP in right renal artery
(A) secondary to MIP artifact from overlapping signal in inferior vena
cava. Stenosis measurements were obtained from thin-slice reformatted images
rather than from MIPs.
