Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is thought to be due to small artery disease at the cortico-medullary border, however these vessels are too small to be imaged at conventional field strengths. Here, we assess the feasibility of 2D gradient echo Time-of-flight (TOF) renal angiography at 7 T to detect the arterial vasculature of the kidney and delineate the intrarenal vasculature network. We compare TOF MRA data collected at 3 T and 7 T in the same subjects, and illustrate the superiority of 7 T for high spatial resolution MRA.
