Figure 1.

Representative histological and MR images of the unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) model at 2 weeks (A–D) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) nephritis model (E–H). Macroscopy of the contralateral normal (A) and obstructed kidneys (B) in the UUO model and the BSA (F) and sham kidneys (E) was followed by the zoomed Sirius red staining, and its threshold quantified in dark purple, showing severe fibrosis in the UUO model and moderate bands of fibrosis in the BSA model. Good quality coronal MRI images of MOLLI T1 maps (C,G) and RESOLVE ADC maps (D,H) were obtained for both the UUO and BSA models.
