[Magnetic resonance tomography of the kidney and adrenal glands in normal subjects].
MR-tomography was used for the investigation of 38 healthy persons aged 17 to 48 with normal BP values without any renal and adrenal pathology (kidneys were investigated in 25 persons, adrenal glands--in 16). A BMT-1100 MR-tomograph (Brucker, FRG) was used for investigation. The authors stress noninvasiveness of the new method and its practical value. It permits the differentiation of the cortical and medullary substance of the kidney and in some cases of the adrenal glands. It also permits the evaluation of their shape, size and position. The authors also showed a possibility of assessing the status of these organs using some quantitative parameters. Due to its safety, high resolution and good imaging the method holds great promise.
