## Abstract ## Purpose To examine the benefit of using higher field strengths for BOLD MRI to detect changes in renal medullary oxygenation following pharmacological maneuvers. ## Materials and Methods Renal BOLD MRI, primarily at 1.5T, has been shown to be useful for monitoring changes in medul
## Abstract The pathogenesis of radiocontrast nephropathy is poorly understood. In an animal model, inhibition of the synthesis of nitric oxide and prostaglandins appears to predispose rats to severe renal injury following the administration of radiocontrast. Here we have investigated whether admin
