Native T₁ mapping for non-invasive quantitative evaluation of renal function and renal fibrosis in patients with chronic kidney disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To investigate the role of native T₁ mapping in the non-invasive quantitative assessment of renal function and renal fibrosis (RF) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients.

Methods

A prospective analysis of 71 consecutive patients [no RF (0%): 9 cases; mild RF (<25%): 36 cases; moderate RF (25-50%): 17 cases; severe RF (>50%): 9 cases] who were clinically diagnosed with CKD that was pathologically confirmed and who underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination between October 2021 and September 2022 was performed. T₁-C (mean cortical T₁ value), T₁-M (mean medullary T₁ value), ΔT₁ (mean corticomedullary difference) and T₁% (mean corticomedullary ratio) values were compared. Correl
