Functional renal imaging sequences

Sequence Type Description
MR-perfusion and filtration measurements Allow assessment of renal blood flow and calculation of split renal function

Diffusion-weighted imaging/Diffusion tensor imaging ADC-values roughly correlate with renal function, FA-values can be used as marker for renal fibrosis

BOLD-Measurements Specific R2* changes can be seen in various diseases (ATN, chronic rejection)

T2-Measurements Experimental technique wherein T2 seems to correlate with renal function
