Clinical Advancements in Angiographic Imaging

Vantage Case Study Non-Contrast SSFP Time-SLIP Imaging: Renal Artery Stenosis PROFILE: A 64-year-old diabetic female inpatient from a local hospital presented with acute renal failure. This study was performed to evaluate the existence of renal stenosis. FINDINGS: Approximately 5 mm distal to the origin of the left renal artery, there was a severe focal stenosis measuring 90 percent. This focal stenosis involving the left renal artery extended for a length of approximately 4 mm. Evidence existed for a severe hemodynamic stenosis involving the proximal left renal artery measuring greater than 90 percent. SCAN PARAMETERS: TR: 5.2, TE: 2.6, Slice Thickness: 3 mm, Time: 4:24, Coil: Torso SPEEDER 8ch. Image 1: Time-SLIP, coronal MIP image, demonstrating severe stenosis in the proximal left renal artery. Image 2: Time-SLIP, rotated transverse MIP image, demonstrating severe stenosis in the left renal artery. Image 3: Time-SLIP, coronal MIP image, demonstrating mild stenosis in the right renal artery. Image 4: Time-SLIP transverse source images demonstrating severe stenosis in the proximal left renal artery. A public ation produced by Toshiba Medic al Sys t ems Oc tober 2 0 0 7 9
