[Magnetic resonance tomography in the diagnosis of renovascular hypertension]
Abstract:
MR tomography was used for investigation of 38 patients with renovascular hypertension (RVH) and 26 healthy persons. A possibility of the use and practical value of the method in the diagnosis and evaluation of renal function and renal arteries (RA) were under study. Some quantitative MRT indices were calculated both for the patients and healthy persons. They included spin-spin relaxation time, proton density, and signal intensity. These data can provide important information on renal function in RVH with relation to kidney sizes and the state of the renal parenchyma (evaluation of the cortical substance and medulla and the border between them). In some cases MRT ensures noninvasive diagnosis of PA stenosis.
