Title: [Role of nuclear magnetic resonance tomography in the diagnosis of renal diseases]. Author: Zilch HG, Held P, Baumgartl FW. Journal: Acta Med Austriaca; 1986; 13(3):75-6. PubMed ID: 3577632. Abstract: The new non-invasive imaging method MRI makes multidimensional image-display possible without using any radiation and contrast media. An improved technique results in an excellent differentiation of renal structure and renal anatomic details. The multiplanar display could be very helpful to improve the staging of malignant tumors. Inflammations of the kidney produce a significant change of relaxation times. The different signals of cortex and medulla disappear especially in chronic glomerulonephritis, tubular necrosis and transplant rejection. In these instances MRI can essentially contribute to renal diagnostic imaging. Furthermore using fast sequences functional imaging of the kidney will be possible.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
