Renal resistive index (RI) and pulsatility index (PI)
are reliable measures of downstream renal resistance
which correlate with the severity of renal disease. To
date, breath-hold MR phase velocity mapping studies have
lacked the temporal resolution required to accurately
determine these pulsatility parameters. We have
developed a high temporal resolution (19 ms) breath-hold
spiral phase velocity mapping technique for the
assessment of the temporal flow patterns in the renal
arteries and show high inter-observer and inter-study
reproducibility. We conclude that high temporal
resolution spiral phase velocity mapping allows
reproducible assessment of renal pulsatility indices.
