Renal tissue hypoxia is a key element in the
pathophysiology of x-ray contrast media (CM) induced
acute kidney injury. T2* mapping permits non-invasive
probing of renal oxygenation. There is some discrepancy
between reported CM effects on T2* and tissue pO2.
Bridging the gap between tissue pO2 measured by invasive
physiological methods (PHYSIOL) and T2*, near-infrared
spectroscopy (NIRS) provides access to Hb concentration
per tissue volume and oxygen saturation of Hb crucial
parameters for interpretation of renal T2*. We studied
the effects of intra-arterial injection of iodixanol, a
high viscosity x-ray CM, by combining data obtained from
MRI, NIRS and PHYSIOL.
