[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the diagnostic value of non-contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) with time-spatial labeling inversion pulse (Time-SLIP) for the assessment of renal artery.Materials and Methods: Thirty-six patients in the suspicion of renal artery stenosis (RAS) were evaluated with Time-SLIP MRA using a 1.5 T scanner. The image quality and the degree of RAS in Time-SLIP MRA were evaluated. The results from Time-SLIP MRA images were compared with those from CTA or DSA.Results: Seventy-one renal arteries were included in the study. The image quality of MRA was scored as excellent in 72% (51 of 71), good in 24% (17 of 71) and poor in 3% (3 of 71) of patients. The sensitivity and specificity of Time-SLIP MRA for the detection of RAS were 100% and 98.2%, and for the detection of significant RAS (≥50%) were 90% and 98.4%. In quantitative assessments of the degree of RAS, the correlation between Time-SLIP MRA and CTA/DSA was excellent using Spearman rank-order correlation coefficient (r=0.959, P< 0.01). Time-SLIP MRA showed a slight overestimation of the degree of stenosis by the Bland-Altman plot [mean bias, (3.31±10.04)%].Conclusions: Time-SLIP MRA is an accurate method for assessment of renal artery.
