Abstract

OBJECTIVE. We review the basics of functional renal imaging and highlight a few clinical applications.

CONCLUSION. Techniques such as contrast-enhanced MR renography, diffusion-weighted imaging, and blood oxygen level–dependent MRI have been investigated in animal models and in a few human studies. Functional renal imaging is a rapidly growing field that has the potential to provide new insight into the pathophysiology of renal disease.

Keywords: blood oxygen level–dependent MRI • diffusion-weighted imaging • functional renal imaging • MR renography
