Magnetic resonance imaging and histopathology of hydronephrosis in the rat.
Magnetic resonance imaging revealed conspicuously hyperintense regions in the papillary area of kidneys of three untreated rats. When the kidneys were examined histologically, a hydronephrosis associated with the presence of bacteria was found. This study relates magnetic resonance images of an early stage of hydronephrosis to its histological picture.
