Keywords: Kidney, Arterial spin labelling
Arterial Spin Labeling (ASL) is a noninvasive fMRI technique that may evaluate canine renal condition. To date, however, the parameters to estimate the renal blood flow (RBF) have not been calculated on dogs. Therefore, λ: blood-tissue water partition coefficient in kidneys and canine at 3T were measured. Measured λ was 0.91[mL/g] and was 1463 ms. With these new values RBF maps were calculated and then compared against the RBF maps given by the scanner. This pilot study demonstrates the relevance of the ASL parameters estimation for the RBF maps calculation in canine kidney.
