All participants provided informed consent to participate in this study, which was approved by the institutional review board. Breath-hold three-dimensional (3D) steady-state free precession (SSFP) magnetic resonance (MR) angiography was compared with 3D contrast material-enhanced MR angiography in patients suspected of having renal artery stenosis. Two radiologists assessed visualization or renal arteries and detection of vascular disease. With SSFP MR angiography, 39 of 41 renal arteries in 19 patients were correctly detected. Relevant stenoses were correctly, identified with SSFP MR angiography in two patients. In two patients, SSFP MR angiographic data sets led to false-positive overgrading or vascular disease. Fast breath-hold 3D SSFP MR angiography appears to be feasible for MR angiography, or renal arteries. (c) RSNA, 2006.
