[Magnetic resonance, a means for anatomically reliable imaging and noninvasive metabolic studies of kidney transplants].
As an adjunct to the monitoring of intracellular high-energy phosphorus metabolites by 31P NMR1 for assessment of renal viability, a study of vasculature of preserved kidneys was performed by Image-Guided Volume Selective 19F MR Spectroscopy. 1H and 19F of the same preserved rat and porcine kidneys were obtained. The technique enabled the analysis of the vessel and tissue properties and opens new possibilities for pretransplant assessment of renal vasculature.
