Renal oxygenation plays a major role in the evaluation of renal function and has attracted considerable attention in recent years. This study demonstrates the feasibility of using a susceptibility-based MRI technique for measuring renal oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) change under the influence of carbogen (97% O2, 3% CO2) breathing. Significant decrease of renal OEF was found during carbogen challenge. Furthermore, the efficacy of this susceptibility-based method was proved by blood pO2 measurement.
