摘要
An MR phase imaging sequence with a very short echo time was used to assess blood velocity and flow at the renal artery bifurcation. Cardiac-gated MR imaging data were obtained in six healthy subjects in sagittal planes adjacent to the abdominal aorta and transverse planes above and below the renal artery bifurcation. Average renal artery now rate was 23.8 +/- 9 mL/sec, A strong individual variability was found for the velocity profiles in the abdominal aorta during end-systolic regurgitation. Flow rate was also determined in three patients with reduced renal artery blood now, Two patients received therapy with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. The successful outcome was documented with MR imaging. A reliable assessment of renal artery now with MR phase imaging is feasible, Measurement of the velocity process yields valuable insights in the complicated flow regime at the renal artery bifurcation.
