TI  - Contrast-enhanced MR angiography (CE-MRA) in the evaluation of vascular 
      complications of renal transplantation.
PG  - 1171-81
AB  - Vascular complications associated with renal transplantation merit urgent 
      investigation since they are often correctable, and timely intervention can help 
      salvage the graft kidney. Contrast-enhanced MR angiography (CE-MRA) is a 
      promising non-invasive technique, uses relatively non-nephrotoxic contrast agents 
      and can rapidly demonstrate the underlying lesion in most instances. In this 
      pictorial review we present the spectrum of abnormalities, as well as the 
      pitfalls of interpretation of CE-MRA, that we encountered in 41 cases where there 
      was clinical suspicion of vascular complications of renal transplantation. We 
      believe that CE-MRA is a valuable, non-invasive screening technique in these 
      cases, and further investigation and management of these patients can be 
      confidently tailored to the results of the CE-MRA study.
