Research Article: Assessment of pharmacologically induced changes in canine kidney function by multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging and contrast enhanced ultrasound

Date Published: 2024-06-20

Abstract:
Introduction: Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI and arterial spin labeling (ASL) MRI enable non-invasive measurement of renal blood flow (RBF), whereas blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) MRI enables non-invasive measurement of the apparent relaxation rate (R2*), an indicator of oxygenation. This study was conducted to evaluate the potential role of these MRI modalities in assessing RBF and oxygenation in dogs. The correlation between contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and the MRI modalities was examined and also the ability of the MRI modalities to detect pharmacologically induced changes.
