Quantitative analysis of kidney function is essential part of monitoring disease progression. The most common parameter of evaluating kidney functioning is by measurement of glomerular filtration rate. Here, we describe that dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging can be used to determine the permeability parameter Ktrans, which can be used to assess renal activity. We used three different pharmacokinetic models and arterial input functions to get the Ktrans value. It was seen that the raw arterial input function used along with shutter speed model has strong correlation with findings obtained from transcutaneous GFR measurement device.
