Breath\u2010hold 3D gadolinium MR angiography (MRA) as well as conventional contrast angiography of the renal arteries was performed on 20 patients with suspected renovascular hypertension. MR angiograms were acquired before and during dynamic infusion of gadolinium\u2010diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (Gd\u2010DTPA). Contrast\u2010enhanced images were compared with images that had undergone voxel\u2010by\u2010voxel signal intensity subtraction of contrast\u2010enhanced data from precontrast data. One false positive finding for significant renal artery stenosis was recorded with MRA using conventional angiography as the gold standard. Image subtraction did not alter the diagnosis at MRA in any case. The mean contrast\u2010to\u2010noise ratio (CNR) was significantly higher (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; .05) on the subtraction MR angiograms compared to the nonsubtracted MR angiograms. There was no significant difference in the signal\u2010to\u2010noise ratio (SNR). Qualitative analysis revealed a significant improvement in image quality after image subtraction with respect to visualization of the distal renal arteries. In conclusion, image subtraction improves the quality of renal MRA in terms of both CNR and visualization of the distal renal arteries.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/jmri.1880080313","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,3,16]],"date-time":"2007-03-16T14:04:05Z","timestamp":1174053845000},"page":"598-602","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Value of image subtraction in 3D gadolinium\u2010enhanced MR angiography of the renal arteries"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Daniel A.","family":"Leung","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pia","family":"Pelkonen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thomas F.","family":"Hany","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gesine","family":"Zimmermann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thomas","family":"Pfammatter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J\u00f6rg F.","family":"Debatin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,11,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1148\/radiology.191.1.8134563"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1148\/radiology.197.3.7480757"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jmri.1880070316"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1148\/radiology.200.2.8685359"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mrm.1910360304"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mrm.1910360408"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1148\/radiology.203.1.9122407"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2214\/ajr.166.6.8633452"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199705153362004"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1148\/radiology.196.2.7617847"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1148\/radiology.204.2.9240520"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1148\/radiology.201.1.8816561"}],"container-title":["Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1002%2Fjmri.1880080313","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/jmri.1880080313","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,28]],"date-time":"2023-10-28T14:07:37Z","timestamp":1698502057000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/jmri.1880080313"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[1998,5]]},"references-count":12,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[1998,5]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1002\/jmri.1880080313"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/jmri.1880080313","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1053-1807","1522-2586"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1053-1807","type":"print"},{"value":"1522-2586","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[1998,5]]}}}
