“…In particular, distal segments and small accessory arteries are less reliably visualised with MRA. 22 MRA has been shown to overestimate the prevalence of stenotic lesions by 15%. 23 However, the use of two control groups using the same protocol minimises this effect in our study.…”

“…The greater the velocity, the greater the phase shift and the higher the signal produced. Phase contrast has been used for both renal [6,7] and peripheral angiography [8] with reasonable results; however, again there are several problems associated with this technique.…”

Three-dimensional contrast magnetic resonance angiography has rapidly advanced over recent years. It is now a highly accurate and safe method of diagnosing vascular abnormalities of the thoracic, abdominal and peripheral vessels. We describe techniques for the examination of the thoracic and abdominal aorta, the renal arteries and the lower limb vessels together with strategies to improve their diagnostic accuracy.

“…Early studies used either time of flight or phase contrast imaging without the use of contrast agents [31,32]. Contemporary studies mostly use a technique known as threedimensional (3-D) gadolinium-enhanced MRA with rapid bolus injection of the contrast agent.…”

Making the diagnosis of potentially reversible renovascular hypertension can be problematic. Although there are a number of noninvasive screening tests available, no one study is appropriate for every patient. In general, the available tests can be divided into those that identify the functional consequences of a renal artery obstruction (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor-augmented renography) and those that identify the anatomic presence of stenosis (duplex ultrasonography, magnetic resonance angiography, and contrast tomography angiography). The most appropriate diagnostic approach is based largely on the clinical index of suspicion, the potential etiology of the renal artery lesion (fibromuscular dysplasia or atherosclerosis), and the individual patient's physiology and presentation. A potential treatment algorithm is presented.
