Renal GFR is a very important quantitative index of
renal function in health and disease. Several methods
are available to estimate GFR using DCE-MRI, but a
precise and unbiased method to estimate GFR remains to
be developed. This study estimates GFR by DCE-MRI using
a two-compartment (2C) model that disregards tubular
outflow and automatically picks the end-of-uptake point
(auto2C) and compares these results with those from the
gold standard GFR measurement (99mTc-DTPA) in long-term
survivors of unilateral Wilms tumor.
