The role of MR angiography in diagnostic of renal artery stenosis

Abstract

The goal is to present advantages of nonenhanced magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) in the examination of renal arteries. These techniques could replace in renal artery stenosis (RAS) detection in certain cases contrast-enhanced MRA (CE-MRA), that is nowadays generally accepted.
