Figure 2 Graphic depiction of MR2* and CR2* distribution as a function of several parameters. Dot plots that demonstrate no correlation between the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and medullary relaxation rate (MR2*) or cortical relaxation rate (CR2*) at (a) 1.5T or (b) 3.0T.

Figure 3 Graphic depiction of MR2* and CR2* distribution as a function of several parameters. In the subgroup analysis with patients stratified by renal function based on the Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (KDOQI) groups, no significant differences between any of the groups can be appreciated at (a,c) 1.5T or (b,d) 3.0T. The symbols (x and +) represent outliers beyond the 75% confidence interval and were introduced by the statistical software. CR2*, cortical relaxation rate; MR2*, medullary relaxation rate.

Figure 4 Graphic depiction of MR2* and CR2* distribution as a function of several parameters. Dot plots that demonstrate no correlation between the age and medullary relaxation rate (MR2*) or cortical relaxation rate (CR2*) at (a) 1.5T or (b) 3.0T.
