This case illustrates the benefits of higher fields strengths for MRA: in distinction to DSA (A), on which a string-and-bed like appearance of the right renal artery consistent with fibromuscular disease is depicted clearly, this morphology is hardly visible on the corresponding MRA scan (B), acquired on a 1.5 T scanner. Thin MIP reconstructions of a renal MRA, performed on a 3 T scanner in a different patient (C), demonstrate similar vessel changes very clearly.
