Résumé

Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) is one of the cardinal indices of renal function and is used clinically as the gold standard of renal dysfunction. In the past decade, many studies using dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE MRI) to measure GFR have been published. The MRI evaluation of GFR centers on visualizing the passage of contrast material (Gadolinium chelates) through the kidney. MRI appears as a promising tool but still relatively difficult to implement in the assessment of GFR. A high heterogeneity of protocols (e.g., in acquisition mode, dose of contrast, postprocessing techniques) is noted in the literature, reflecting the number of technical challenges that should first be solved in order to reach a consensus, and the reported accuracy and reproducibility are insufficient for justifying their use in clinical practice now. This paper presents and discusses the different steps that can be used to quantify the GFR by MRI. (C) 2011 Elsevier Masson SAS and Editions francaises de radiologie. All rights reserved.
