| Popis: | PURPOSE To assess renal artery stenosis (RAS) by 3D phase contrast (PC) MR angiography and dynamic perfusion imaging of the kidneys. METHODS On a standard 1.0 T MR imaging system (Magnetom Expert, Siemens), 32 patients with angiographically proven unilateral RAS were examined using a 3D PC sequence (TR 40 ms/TE 9 ms/venc 30 cm/s). An ECG-gated Turbo-FLASH 2D sequence (TR 4.5 ms/TE 2.2 ms/TIeff. 400 ms) was applied to study the first pass of paramagnetic contrast agent (0.1 mmol Gd-DTPA/kg) through the kidneys. Signal intensity (SI) over time curves of the renal cortex were obtained and evaluated considering temporal relation and percentage of maximum SI compared to the aorta and normal kidneys. Analysis of the MRA was performed by two independent blinded readers. The gold-standard DSA was interpreted by consensus reading of two experienced radiologists. RESULTS RAS was detected by 3D PC MRA with a sensitivity of 93% and specificity of 81% (ppv 82%, npv 93%, accuracy 87%, kappa = 0.61). Maximum SI in RAS was significantly decreased (p 75% (p 0.1). CONCLUSIONS 3D PC MRA is capable of detecting RAS in a high percentage of patients. Dynamic perfusion imaging of the kidneys, applied additionally, can confirm the diagnosis and give valuable information about the hemodynamic relevance of RAS in suspected unilateral disease. |
