Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and acute kidney injury (AKI) are ongoing global health
burdens. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the gold standard measure of kidney function …

Background High repeatability, accuracy, and precision for renal function measurements
need to be achieved to establish renal dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance …

Background Functional magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the kidney relies on low-
molecular-weight contrast agents. These agents are glomerular filtration markers and are …

Purpose To propose a rapid multi-slice T 1 measurement method using time-resolved
imaging of contrast kinetics (TRICKS) and a semi-automated image processing algorithm for …

The kidneys maintain homeostasis by filtering and excreting metabolic waste products,
regulating acidbase balance, and moderating blood pressure and fluid volume. Because …

Objective: Morphologic and dynamic renal imaging is necessary for characterization of
kidney function in renal insufficiency. Assessment of renal perfusion and the glomerular …

Purpose To develop and validate a method for measuring murine single‐kidney glomerular
filtration rate (GFR) using dynamic contrast‐enhanced MRI (DCE‐MRI). Methods This …

OBJECTIVE. The objective of our study was to investigate whether dynamic contrast-
enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) can detect differences and potential adaption in single-kidney …

Materials and Methods All studies were performed under approved protocols by the
appropriate committees at the National Institutes of Health. Dynamic MRI (DMRI) was …

Clinical care of the patient with suspected renal disease often requires assessing renal
function. Two of the most commonly used tests evaluate the serum creatinine level and …
