Fig. 1A. Pig that weighed 20 kg 7 days after surgical induction of
bilateral renal artery stenosis. Digital subtraction angiogram shows 70% right
(R) renal artery stenosis and 53% left (L) renal artery stenosis.

Fig. 1B. Pig that weighed 20 kg 7 days after surgical induction of
bilateral renal artery stenosis. Contrast-enhanced MR angiogram obtained with
IV administration of gadodiamide shows 68% right renal artery stenosis and 65%
left renal artery stenosis. MR angiogram is coronal maximum intensity
projection obtained from three-dimensional (3D) fast-spoiled gradient-echo
acquisition.

Fig. 1C. Pig that weighed 20 kg 7 days after surgical induction of
bilateral renal artery stenosis. Contrast-enhanced MR angiogram obtained with
intraarterial administration of gadodiamide shows 65% right renal artery
stenosis and 75% left renal artery stenosis. MR angiogram is a coronal maximum
intensity projection obtained from same 3D fast-spoiled gradient-echo
acquisition.

Fig. 1D. Pig that weighed 20 kg 7 days after surgical induction of
bilateral renal artery stenosis. Magnified source contrast-enhanced MR
angiogram obtained with intraarterial administration of gadodiamide shows
specific locations used for quantitative stenosis measurements of right renal
artery. Small arrow depicts site of stenosis, and large arrow depicts proximal
uninvolved normal renal artery segment.

Fig. 1E. Pig that weighed 20 kg 7 days after surgical induction of
bilateral renal artery stenosis. Magnified source contrast-enhanced MR
angiogram obtained with intraarterial administration of gadodiamide shows
specific locations used for quantitative stenosis measurements of left renal
artery. Small arrow depicts site of stenosis, and large arrow depicts proximal
uninvolved normal renal artery segment.

Fig. 2. Scatterplot shows raw diameter of renal artery stenosis
measurements obtained for IV and intraarterial MR angiogram using DSA as
reference standard. Note that intraarterial MR angiogram ( ) has slightly
greater scatter than IV MR angiogram ([UNK]), indicating larger standard
deviation for intraarterial stenosis measurements.
