Table 3.
Estimated renal perfusion and flow parameters measured with DCE-MRI. Values represent the mean of parameters in the right and left kidney, except for global GFR, which is the sum of right and left kidney GFR. Whole kidney MTT= MTTA+ MTTP+ MTTL. Whole kidney RPF is the sum of medulla and cortex RPF. MTTA: vascular compartment MTT, MTTP: proximal tubule MTT, and MTTL: loop of Henle MTT.

Kidney | 150.21 ± 85.57 | 117.88 ± 27.20 | 49.64 ± 17.97 |
RPF (ml/min) | MTTA (s) | MTTP (s) | |
Cortex | 121.06 ± 73.37* | 11.19 ± 2.04 | 69.76 ± 21.19 |
RPF (ml/min) | MTTL (s) | ||
Medulla | 33.91 ± 16.79 | 39.71 ± 12.55 |
