Table 3.

Minimum recommendations for reporting renal ASL studies

Outline patient preparation (e.g. hydration)

Outline subject characteristics

Measure systemic haemodynamics ( e.g. blood pressure)

Report current medications (especially those targeting the renin–  angio-tensin system)

Outline the labelling scheme

Report the duration of the post-label delay

Outline the readout scheme

Explicitly outline how motion compensation was handled

Explicitly state whether background suppression was applied

Acquire a T1 map to use in the kinetic model

Describe how the region of interest for ASL analysis is selected

Report cortical and medullary values separately

Report within-subject reproducibility for your site preferably both  within and between visits

Measure other renal MRI parameters if possible (e.g. BOLD, diffusion)
