Coronal 3D Gd MRA sequence use in renal transplant patients MRI



This is the main sequence to evaluate the allograft vasculature for stenosis or occlusion and to roughly assess allograft perfusion by observing the degree of renal enhancement. It evaluates function by looking at gadolinium excretion into the urinary tract.
The 3D volume is centered on the allograft. It should encompass the lower abdominal aorta and extends sufficiently anteriorly to include the femoral heads, it is necessary to include the internal and external iliac in the imaging volume to ensure that the anastomosis is included. Use Smart-prep ensure synchronization of central k-space with arrival of the bolus to acquire the center of k-space data during the arterial enhancement before venous enhancement.
