QISS-MRA presents a radiation and contrast free method for preoperative diagnostic AAA imaging. While QISS-MRA does not deliver exact information regarding calcification and thrombus formation, it does accurately allow measurement of vessel diameter and length. Therefore, it is potentially useful for EVAR planning in selected patients with impaired renal function.
