Figure 1a: FMD of right medial renal artery. (a) Anteroposterior digital subtraction angiogram with selective injection shows string-of-pearls appearance (arrow) in middle to distal aspect of artery. (b) Coronal source image, (c) coronal maximum intensity projection, and (d) coronal volume-rendered image show string-of-pearls appearance (arrow) at magnified contrast-enhanced MR angiography (5.2/1.5, 40° flip angle, and 0.78 x 0.78 x 1.5-mm reconstructed voxel).

Figure 2a: FMD of right medial renal artery. Magnified images of right renal artery show string-of-pearls appearance (arrow) in distal two-thirds of the artery on (a) anteroposterior digital subtraction angiogram and (b) transverse multiplanar reformation obtained at contrast-enhanced MR angiography (5.2/1.5, 40° flip angle, and 0.78 x 0.78 x 1.5-mm reconstructed voxel).

Figure 3a: FMD of right medial renal artery. (a) Nonselective anteroposterior aortogram shows long stenosis (arrow) in medial part of the right renal artery. (b) Coronal maximum intensity projection and (c) volume-rendered image, both of which were obtained at contrast-enhanced MR angiography (5.2/1.5, 40° flip angle, and 0.78 x 0.78 x 1.5-mm reconstructed voxel), show lesion with overestimation of stenosis.
