title: MR renographic measurement of renal function in patients undergoing partial nephrectomy.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of this review is to describe the role of functional renal MRI, or MR renography, in the care of patients with renal masses undergoing partial nephrectomy.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  MR renography can be used to monitor renal functional outcome for patients undergoing partial nephrectomy and may help guide patient selection in this population with elevated risk of chronic kidney disease.
