MRU,EMRU High sensitivity to water signal MRU + lasix : anatomic EMRU + GD + lasix : physiologic ,functional
ADVANTAGES No radiation Contrast sensitivity Young peoples Fetus, pregnancy
INDICATIONS Hydronephrosis Stone Obstructions “stone,pelvic masses,UB masses” Renal transplanation Renal insuficiency
Matherial and Method Machine: 1.5 , 1 tesla Heavy T2 , Coronal-thick slab stationary fluid = CSF , Bile , Urine , Bowel: white Flowing fluid = vessels: black
ACCURACY MRU>IVU Urinary obstruction in insuficcency MRU>IVU UB cancer MRU=IVU Normal population MRU=IVU Degree of hydronephrosis MRU>IVU Hydronephrosis and serial imaging MRU<IVU Small stone and partial obstruction Spiral CT +/- CM > IVU, MRU stone and small or partial obstruction IVU,EMRU > MRU ureter and pyelosinus rupture
PULSE Heavy T2 thick slab ,fat saturation (HF T2 : half –fourier-T2, MIP) TR=8000 HASTE , SSFSE coronal 3-6 mm ,1-2 respiration stop RARE : 20-60 images , coronal thick slab , respiratory stop EMRU : 1mg /kg max. 10 mg lasix , 30-60 seconds before GD MIP T1 and T2 SPOILED GRE – T1 3D FAT SAT. – T1 MIP : under 45 Flip angle Delayed images if obstruction
