Objective To investigate the value of non contrast enhanced MRA in the diagnosis of renal artery stenosis. Methods A total of 46 patients with suspected renal artery stenosis, Doppler ultrasound (DUS), multi slice spiral CTA (MSCTA) and non contrast enhanced MRA examination, the advantages and disadvantages of three kinds of imaging methods of evaluation. Results The sensitivity and accuracy of DUS in diagnosing renal artery stenosis were significantly lower than that of MSCTA and non contrast enhanced MRA, and the latter diagnosis was highly consistent. Conclusion DUS, MSCTA and non contrast enhanced MRA can diagnose renal artery stenosis. Non contrast agents enhance MRA sensitivity and accuracy,it is safer and can be used as the preferred screening method.
