Renal diseases pose a significant socio‐economic burden on healthcare systems. The
development of better diagnostics and prognostics is well‐recognized as a key strategy to …

Established as a method to study anatomic changes, such as renal tumors or atherosclerotic
vascular disease, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to interrogate renal function has only …

The aim of this study was to refine the description of the renal function based on MR images
and through transit-time curve analysis on a normal population and on a population with …

MR nephrourography (MRNU) makes it possible to obtain structural and functional data
within a single imaging examination without using ionizing radiation. The functional data …

Renal artery stenosis causes renal ischemia, hypertension, and, when bilateral, progressive
ischemic nephropathy [1]. Although patients with renal artery stenosis can be managed …

OBJECTIVE. Our aim was to evaluate the feasibility of acquiring an MR signal intensity–time
renographic curve and dynamic serial images in a way similar to that of acquiring …

The goal of functional renal imaging is to identify and quantitate irreversible renal damage
and nephron loss, as well as potentially reversible hemodynamic changes. MR urography …

Five patients with renal insufficiency were studied with T1-weighted magnetic resonance
(MR) imaging before and after intravenous administration of gadopentetate dimeglumine …

We evaluated a method of semiautomated analysis of dynamic MR image series in renal
transplants. Nine patients were studied twice, with an average time interval of 7 days. MR …

We determined the optimum gadolinium (Gd)‐DTPA dose and time window for calculating
the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) using contrast‐enhanced (CE) dynamic MRI and the …
