[Abstract] The development of non-contrast-enhanced MR angiography (NCE-MRA) has great clinical significance for imaging arteries in patients with renal insufficiency because of the concerns regarding nephrogenic systemic fibrosis and overcoming the limitations of contrast-enhanced MRA in imaging coverage or spatial resolution and venous contamination. Some newly developed peripheral NCE-MRA methods were reviewed, focused on the elimination of veins and the background of soft tissue, the improvement of arterial signal-to-noise ratio and image quality, and the clinical potential.
