Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Contrast-Induced Acute Renal Injury and Related Pathological Alterations In Vivo

Figure 2

Representative kidney MRI imaging (a–e). The arrows show the alterations related to injection of CM. No obvious alterations present on T1WI. Significant enhancing signal alterations present on T2WI and DTI. Some signal-associated oxygen contents disappear on BOLD imaging after CM administration. CM: contrast media; DTI: diffusion tensor imaging; BOLD: blood oxygen level-dependent imaging; T1WI: T1-weighted image; T2WI: T2-weighted image.
