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.
