Abstract:
New MRI modalities today available allow exploration of many kidney diseases. Main developments have been made in the diagnosis of small tumors and tumoral extension of huge masses. The other important way of application is MR urography which perfectly show the dilated urinary tract in few seconds. Their potential application are for renal insufficiency, allergic reaction to iodine contrast media and in cases of contra indication to ionised radiations. It is a complementary sequence to assess the urinary tract in pelvic exploration. The evaluation of kidney function will be possible in the near future.
