Renal tissue hypoxia may play a major role in the progression of chronic renal disease.
Michaely et al. used blood oxygen level-dependent magnetic resonance imaging to test this …

To the Editor: We read with interest the recent article by Michaely et al. 1 in which it was
stated that renal blood oxygen level-dependent magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD-MRI) …

Background: Blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD)-MRI is a novel and noninvasive tool
that can assess renal oxygenation. The R2* value is a parameter of tissue deoxyhemoglobin …

Identifying subjects with progressive chronic kidney disease will be important both in clinical
practice and in conducting clinical trials. Pruijm et al.(in this issue) demonstrate for the first …

Blood oxygen level-dependent magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD MRI) has recently
emerged as an important noninvasive technique to assess intrarenal oxygenation under …

BACKGROUND: Blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
can provide regional measurements of oxygen content using deoxyhemoglobin …

Objectives To assess inter-observer variability of renal blood oxygenation level-dependent
MRI (BOLD-MRI) using a new method of analysis, called the concentric objects (CO) …

Experimentally renal tissue hypoxia appears to play an important role in the pathogenesis of
chronic kidney disease (CKD) and arterial hypertension (AHT). In this study we measured …

Introduction Kidney blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) has shown great promise in evaluating relative oxygen availability. This …

Blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has
been applied to investigate kidney oxygenation in human patients. These investigations …
