Non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging in rats for prediction of the fate of grafted kidneys from cardiac death donors.

Non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging in rats for prediction of the fate of grafted kidneys from cardiac death donors.

The main objective of this study was to assess cardiac death (CD) kidney grafts before transplantation to determine whether blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) and diffusion MRI techniques can predict damage to these grafts after transplantation. We assessed CD kidney tissue by BOLD and diffusion MR...
