Since the use of angiographic and endovascular procedures increased rapidly during the past decades, the frequency of atheroembolic renal disease raised recently. This study demonstrates the feasibility of applying an MRI based oxygenation imaging to evaluate renal ischemia in an atheroembolic renal disease model. The average renal oxygen extraction fraction (OEFs) as well as the ratios between embolized kidney and contralateral kidney show significant differences between groups. Renal OEF measurement appears to be able to delineate different severities of renal ischemia by revealing information about the balance between tubular workload and delivery of oxygen.
