[Abstract] Gadolinium-based contrast agents have been administrated widely for MR angiography. However, the realization that they may be a factor in the development of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) in patients with impaired renal function has created a great interest in the non-contrast-enhanced MR angiography techniques. Siemens syngo NATIVE provides two different non-contrast MR angiography techniques: syngo NATIVE TrueFISP and syngo NATIVE SPACE. The former is optimized for abdomen region, especially the renal arteries and the latter is optimized for peripheral arteries. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the technical background and their current clinical applications.
