Utility of BOLD MRI as diagnostic tool in renal artery stenosis in patients with hypertension and chronic kidney disease

Is the BOLD MRI able to show the difference in the level of oxygenation as a mesurement of ischemia between a in a healthy kidney (<30% renal artery stenosis) and a kidney with more than 70% artery stenosis?

Advanced MRI in renal tumours

To evaluate the diagnostic performance of diffusion weighted MR imaging (MRI) techniques by using apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps and Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) on 3 tesla MRI in assessing the nature of renal masses.
