Table 3. Comparison of GFR values obtained by MRI and FITC-sinistrin techniques in UNX SD rats.
UNX SD | GFR [ml/min] | |
transcutaneous FITC-sinistrin clearance | DCE-MRI | |
1 | 2.30 | 0.59 |
2 | 2.78 | 1.33 |
3 | 1.16 | 0.84 |
4 | 1.40 | 1.21 |
5 | 3.11 | 1.55 |
6 | 3.32 | 1.50 |
Mean (sd) | 2.34 (± 0.9) | 1.17 (± 0.38) |
Mean GFR between methods differ by a factor of two.
