Measurements of Renal Perfusion and Oxygenation in Swine: Preliminary Results
INTRODUCTION Recent studies have demonstrated a link between the use of gadolinium-based contrast agents and the development of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) [1]. Given growing concerns of developing NSF, it has become important to investigate non-contrast methods of evaluating renal function. We have developed an MRI perfusion technique employing arterial spin labeling (ASL) [2] that all...
متن کاملQuantitative Renal Perfusion Measurements in a Rat Model of Acute Kidney Injury at 3T: Testing Inter- and Intramethodical Significance of ASL and DCE-MRI
OBJECTIVES To establish arterial spin labelling (ASL) for quantitative renal perfusion measurements in a rat model at 3 Tesla and to test the diagnostic significance of ASL and dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) in a model of acute kidney injury (AKI). MATERIAL AND METHODS ASL and DCE-MRI were consecutively employed on six Lewis rats, five of which had a unilateral...
متن کاملArterial spin labeling blood flow magnetic resonance imaging for evaluation of renal injury.
A multitude of evidence suggests that iodinated contrast material causes nephrotoxicity; however, there have been no previous studies that use arterial spin labeling (ASL) blood flow functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate the alterations in effective renal plasma flow between normointensive and hypertensive rats following injection of contrast media. We hypothesized that FA...
متن کاملJPET Miniseries: Imaging Potentials and Challenges for Arterial Spin Labeling in Pharmacological Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Pharmacological magnetic resonance imaging (phMRI) is increasingly being used in drug discovery and development to speed the translation from the laboratory to the clinic. The two primary methods in phMRI include blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) contrast and arterial spin-labeled (ASL) perfusion MRI. BOLD contrast has been widely applied in existing phMRI studies. However, because of the lac...
متن کاملMeasurement of cerebral perfusion with arterial spin labeling: Part 1. Methods.
Arterial spin labeling (ASL) is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method that provides a highly repeatable quantitative measure of cerebral blood flow (CBF). As compared to the more commonly used blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) contrast-based methods, ASL techniques measure a more biologically specific correlate of neural activity, with the potential for more accurate estimation of th...
