Evaluation of the aortoiliac and renal arteries: comparison of breath-hold, contrast-enhanced, three-dimensional MR angiography with conventional catheter angiography.

Abstract

The diagnostic performance of contrast-enhanced 3D MR angiography is comparable with that of catheter angiography and thus may contribute to assessment of the aorta, the renal arteries, and the pelvic arterial system in patients with peripheral vascular disease before they undergo therapy.
