Evaluation of the blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) sequence with 3 Tesla device in renal transplant patients in the assessment of early allograft disfunction, correlated with biopsy
Abstract:Objective
To evaluate the ability of blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) magnetic resonance imaging at 3 Tesla to measure tissue oxygen bioavailability based on R2* values, and to differentiate between acute tubular necrosis and acute rejection compared to renal biopsy (gold standard).
Methods
A prospective, single-center study, with patients submitted to renal transplantation between 2013 and 2014, who developed graft dysfunction less than 4 weeks after transplantation… Show more
