OBJECTIVE. We review the basics of functional renal imaging and highlight a few clinical
applications. CONCLUSION. Techniques such as contrast-enhanced MR renography …

Background Multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides the potential for a
more comprehensive non-invasive assessment of organ structure and function than …

Heart failure and kidney disease share common pathophysiological pathways which can
lead to mutual dysfunction, known as cardiorenal syndrome. In heart failure patients, renal …

Objectives: Recent animal studies with dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance
imaging have demonstrated that a separable compartment model provides more accurate …

Objective To model the uptake phase of T 1-weighted DCE-MRI data in normal kidneys and
to demonstrate that the fitted physiological parameters correlate with published normal …

Background and objectives: During the past decade, nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF)
has been reported in patients who have severe renal impairment and have been exposed to …

Purpose Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the leading cause of renal failure; however, current
clinical tests are insufficient for assessing this disease. DN is associated with changes in …

Purpose Renal fibrosis is a hallmark of progressive renal disease; however, current clinical
tests are insufficient for assessing renal fibrosis. Here we evaluated the utility of quantitative …

Renal diseases can lead to kidney failure that requires life-long dialysis or renal
transplantation. Early detection and treatment can prevent progression towards end stage …

Kidney disease is commonly found in heart failure (HF) patients. They share many risk
factors and common pathophysiological pathways which often lead to mutual dysfunction …
