BOLD MRI has the potential to depict renal hypoxia, but
published data are contradictory, likely secondary to
limitations in the underlying MRI technique. We have
successfully applied 2-dimensional volume selective
excitation to reduce the scan time required for full 3D
high-resolution renal BOLD imaging of a single kidney to
just over 1.5 minutes. This clinically realistic scan
time opens the door for the wider investigation of renal
BOLD MRI and its ultimate application to assessment of
chronic kidney disease progression and response to
therapy.
