Experimental: Dotarem and TOF MRA
Each subject will undergo a Time Of Flight (TOF) Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) followed by a Dotarem enhanced MRA.

Drug: Dotarem
Each subject will receive one injection of Dotarem 0.2ml/kg
Other Name: Gadoterate meglumine Other: TOF MRA Each subject will undergo a Time of Flight Magnetic Resonance Angiography (TOF MRA) |
- Technical Failure Rate [ Time Frame: 2 - 28 days ]Rate of non-assessable arterial segments as measured by 3 independent readers in off-site evaluation of TOF-MRA and Dotarem-enhanced MRA (re-read DGD-44-060).
- Sensitivity [ Time Frame: 2-42 days ]Rate of true stenotic segments (i.e. with stenosis >= 70%) of TOF and Dotarem-enhanced MRA evaluated by 3 independent off-site readers at the segment level, with CTA as standard of truth (re-read DGD-44-060).
- Specificity [ Time Frame: 2 - 42 days ]Rate of true non-stenotic segments (i.e. without stenosis >= 70%) of TOF and Dotarem-enhanced MRA evaluated by 3 independent off-site readers at the segment level, with CTA as standard of truth (re-read DGD-44-060).
