(A) Coronal ¹⁹F images of a mouse with ANCA-induced glomerulonephritis; 8 weeks after bone marrow transplantation showing extensive renal inflammatory cell infiltration, particularly in the cortex in comparison with a naïve mouse (B) showing a high signal in liver and spleen, but none in the kidneys. The low SNR of room temperature RF technology severely limits the spatial resolution achievable even at extended scan durations of almost 1 h. L indicates liver, S indicates spleen, and yellow dot lines depict kidneys. Data from Schreiber et al. (2013).
