Abstract: Objective: To measure the normal range of the inner diameter of renal arteries and the perpendicular cross section area of renal arteries in normal male and female adults by three dimensional contrast-enhanced MR angiography (3D CE-MRA). Method: The inner diameter of renal and the perpendicular cross section area of renal arteries were measured by 3D CE-MRA in 68 healthy adults with normal blood pressure. Results: The inner diameter of renal arteries normally ranged between 5.24mm and 9.02mm with an average of 7.13mm in males and between 4.48mm and 7.53mm with an average of 6.01mm in females. The perpendicular cross section area of the renal arteries normally ranged between 24.33mm2 and 58.43mm2 with an average of 41.38mm2 in males and between 15.34mm2 and 43.53mm2 with an average of 29.44mm2 in females. Conclusion: Inner diameters and perpendicular cross section areas of renal arteries are different between male and female adults, which contributes to the universal evaluation of luminal sizes of renal arteries.
