Non-contrast renal MR angiographic (MRA) techniques are potentially well suited to the screening of donors; however, their restricted imaging field of view (FOV) has previously been an important limitation. We sought to assess whether the addition of a large FOV balanced fast field echo (BFFE) steady-state free precession (SSFP) sequence to non-contrast SSFP MRA could overcome this problem. Comparison with contrast-enhanced MRA (CE MRA) and findings at surgery were performed.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Methods: 22 potential renal donors each underwent SSFP and CE MRA. 11 out of 22 potential donors subsequently underwent a donor nephrectomy.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results: All images were diagnostic. Both SSFP MRA and CE MRA identified an equal number of arteries. Surgery confirmed two accessory renal arteries, both demonstrated with both imaging techniques. A third accessory vessel was identified with both techniques on a kidney contralateral to the donated organ. 6 out of 11 procured kidneys demonstrated early branch arteries at surgery, 5 out of 6 of which had been depicted on both SSFP and CE MRA. The median grading of image quality for main renal arteries was slightly better for CE MRA (p=0.048), but for accessory vessels it was better for SSFP MRA.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Conclusion: This pilot study indicates that by combining free-breathing SSFP MRA with large-FOV bFFE images, an accurate depiction of renal vascular anatomy without the need for intravenous contrast administration can be obtained, as compared with surgical findings and CE MRA.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1259\/bjr\/16270927","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,2,6]],"date-time":"2012-02-06T18:58:06Z","timestamp":1328554686000},"page":"e448-e454","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Is there a role for free breathing non-contrast steady-state free precession renal MRA imaging for assessing live donors?
