Dynamic
contrast enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) provides a modern technique to assess
physiological parameters like renal blood flow or glomerular filtration rate.
The self-navigating BLADE-sequence with a certain robustness to motion
artefacts in combination with an injection of a contrast agent offers an
approach for a motion corrected DCE-examination without the need of
respiratory triggering. The purpose of this study was to compare the
T1-weighted BLADE sequence to the MR- gold standard TFL-sequence in clinical
routine.
