Contrast-enhanced sequences demonstrated normal renal arteries; a perfusion delay compared to right kidney was observed due to traction phenomena of vascular pedicle (Figures 4 and 5).
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). (a and b) THRIVE sequences with bolus of contrast medium injection; (c) axial T1-weighted sequence; (d) T1 post-Gd DTPA.
