MRI can provide excellent detail of renal structure and function. Recently, novel MR contrast
mechanisms and imaging tools have been developed to evaluate microscopic kidney …

Magnetic resonance imaging has the potential to provide a complete anatomic, physiologic,
kidney-specific evaluation. With future advances in automated image analysis methods we …

Background Recently, a whole-body 5 T MRI scanner was developed to open the door of
abdominal imaging at high-field strength. This prospective study aimed to evaluate the …

The primary function of the kidney is to maintain homeostasis of fluids, which includes
excretion of metabolic waste, regulation of body fluid volume, blood pressure regulation, and …

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

The diagnostic value of magnetic resonance contrast between the renal cortex and renal
medulla as an indicator of renal disease was retrospectively studied in 38 patients (ten …
