MRI images (above) and photographs (below) of mouse kidneys illustrating the morphological changes seen in kidneys from UT-A1/3-/- mice compared to normal mouse kidneys (right). Prior to imaging, anesthetized mice were subcutaneously injected with Magnevist contrast agent. Cavities where the contrast agent accumulates in fluid appear white on the MRI. The two distinct abnormalities seen were frank hydronephrosis (left) and a pelvic reflux pattern (middle). An arrow depicts the position of renal inner medulla.
