[Evaluation of renal oxygen content by BOLD MRI].
Blood Oxygen Level-Dependent (BOLD) MRI signal is a new method of renal functional imaging which allows renal cortical and medullary oxygen contents measurement in a noninvasive way and without injection of potentially nephrotoxic contrast product. Several clinical and experimental studies showed its potential interest in measuring renal oxygen content and its variation during different renal injuries, allowing new progress in the comprehension of the pathophysiology of several nephropathies.
