Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers the ability to non-invasively assess parenchymal and vascular renal disease. Indications for renal MRI include the evaluation of renal masses, urinary obstruction and infection, renal vasculature, and the health of transplant kidneys. The potential of MR angiography to replace invasive conventional x-ray angiography has been recognized for many years. Recent developments in MRI resulting from fast MR systems with faster gradients, new surface coil designs and the latest sequence developments coupled with innovative contrast agent administration strategies have prompted substantial progress of MRI in the diagnosis of renal disease. The goal of this article is to present the current state of MRI in diagnosing renal disease, with an emphasis on the latest developments in the evaluation of renal vascular disease.
磁共振成像（MRI）能够对肾实质和血管疾病进行无创评估。肾脏MRI的适应证包括评估肾肿块、尿路梗阻和感染、肾血管系统以及移植肾的健康状况。多年来，磁共振血管造影替代有创传统X线血管造影的潜力已得到认可。快速MR系统、更快梯度、新型表面线圈设计、最新序列发展以及创新的造影剂给药策略带来的MRI最新进展，推动了MRI在肾脏疾病诊断方面的实质性进步。本文的目的是介绍MRI在诊断肾脏疾病方面的现状，重点是肾血管疾病评估的最新进展。
