Radioactive tracers provide a unique means of determining individual renal function and are
therefore to be preferred for obtaining accurate information on the functional status of each …

Dynamic MR images of the passage of gadopentetate dimeglumine through the kidneys of
normal rats are obtained using a dual gradient‐echo sequence. The amplitudes of gradient …

Characterizing structural and tissue abnormalities of the kidney is fundamental to
understanding kidney disease. Functional multi‐parametric renal magnetic resonance …

The local sensitivity of MRI can be improved with small MR detectors placed close to regions
of interest. However, to maintain such sensitivity advantage, local detectors normally need to …

Magnetic resonance imaging provides superb anatomic detail and greater sensitivity to the
detection of most lesions than any other imaging modality. The topics covered in this article …

Renovascular disease has long been recognized as a common treatable form of
nonessential hypertension and is implicated as the underlying cause in 1% to 5% of patients …

This study evaluates the MR appearance of the kidney in diffuse renal parenchymal
diseases, using precontrast, and immediate and delayed postgadolinium chelate (Gd) …

Background Renal multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a promising tool
for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment monitoring in kidney disease. Purpose To determine …

The aim of this study was to evaluate an “all-in-one” MR procedure to examine the kidneys,
the renal vascular supply and renal perfusion, and the urinary tract. In 64 patients (58 with …

Four healthy volunteers and six patients with hydronephrosis underwent magnetic
resonance (MR) imaging after the injection of gadolinium-diethylenetriaminepenta …
