There is an important need of non-invasive biomarkers to
monitor, in situ, the chronic kidney disease (CKD)
evolution. In this study, we investigated a free
breathing Modified Look-Locker Inversion Recovery
(MOLLI) motion corrected T1 mapping sequence in CKD
patients to enable the difference between healthy
volunteers and CKD patients. High image quality was
obtained in all the patients. A highly significant
difference in the mean T1 was revealed between the
cortex but not the medulla of healthy volunteers and
patients. This study justifies further clinical studies
on the use of MOLLI T1 mapping in kidney patients.
