We investigated whether multiparametric functional MRI
allows evaluation of renal allograft rejection in mice.
An acute rejection was induced by allogenic kidney
transplantation; animals after isogenic transplantation
were used as controls. Three weeks after transplantation
renal perfusion (ASL), T1-/ T2-relaxation times and
ADC-values were determined using a 7T-scanner. Animals
after allogenic transplantation developed an acute
T-cell-mediated rejection. In these animals, renal
perfusion impairment was stronger, T1- and T2-values
were higher and ADC was lower compared to animals after
isogenic transplantation. Functional MRI-parameters
significantly correlated with the extent of
T-cell-infiltrates. Thus, functional MRI may improve
non-invasive diagnosis of renal allograft rejection.
