Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has rapidly proved its value for the evaluation of the retroperitoneum, an area relatively sheltered from artifacts generated by respiratory motion or the peristalsis of the digestive tract. It allows for precise anatomical study of the major vessels in both the axial and the coronal planes. Natural visualization of the corticomedullary differentiation (CMD) of the renal parenchyma without contrast medium is an additional asset in comparison with CT.
