Magnetic resonance angiography of the aorta and renal arteries

Recently developed MR angiographic techniques currently provide useful information regarding arterial vascular abnormalities within the abdomen. With further improvements in technique, MR angiography in the abdomen is expected to provide the radiologist and clinician with extensive information regarding vascular pathology without the need for iodinated contrast or intravascular catheters. Further work is needed to evaluate the role of MR angiography with respect to other noninvasive imaging techniques.
