Abstract:Background Blood oxygen level dependent-magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD-MRI) is a non-invasive functional imaging technique that can be used to assess renal allograft dysfunction. Purpose To evaluate the diagnostic performance of BOLD-MRI using a 3-T scanner in discriminating causes of renal allograft dysfunction in the post-transplant period. Material and Methods This prospective study was conducted on 112 live donor-renal allograft recipients: 53 with normal graft function, as controls; 18 with biopsy-prove… Show more
