With advances in RF coil engineering, RF shimming
strategies and acquisition methods, ultra high field MRI
technical development and translational research has
been expanded from the human brain to the abdominal and
pelvic organs. To facilitate MRI research on renal
physiology and clinical studies of kidney diseases, we
are developing multi-parametric renal MRI at 7T,
combining the ASL based renal perfusion imaging with T1
and T2 imaging to measure tissue MRI properties and T2*
imaging to evaluate oxygen level or bioavailability. Our
efforts towards this multi-parametric protocol for
assessing the kidneys at 7T are presented.
