Dynamic contrast‐enhanced MRI (DCE‐MRI) is a functional MRI method where T1‐
weighted MR images are acquired dynamically after bolus injection of a contrast agent. The …

Clinical assessment of kidney function is central to the practice of medicine. GFR is widely
accepted as the best index of kidney function in health and disease, and accurate values are …

The most common methods for measuring perfusion with MRI are arterial spin labelling
(ASL), dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC-MRI), and T1-weighted dynamic contrast …

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and frequently fatal illness in critically ill patients. The
reliance on daily measurements of serum creatinine as a surrogate of glomerular filtration …

MRI of the kidney currently makes the transition from depiction of morphology to assessment
