[Abstract] Objective: To explore the feasibility of multiple-echo GRE-R2* to renals at 3.0 T MRI.Materials and Methods: A MR phantom which includes fifteen vials containing 0.2—3.2 mmol/L manganese chloride in hydrochloric acid solution, 51 healthy vonlunteers (Group A) with kidneys in-situ and 22 normal renals (Group B) transplanted were scanned by 3.0 T MRI, repeated protocols to the phantom and group A with kidneys in-situ one month later. Both phantom and in-vivo renals R2* were quantified by a well-trained physician using a CMR tools after MRI.Results: Phantom R2* was linearly correlated with its concentration in vials (r=0.999, P=0.000). Through the regressions procedure,a slope of 0.008 and an intercept of -0.050 were found. No statistic differences were found for R2* value between the first and second scanning on phantom (P>0.05), The real and predicted concentration of phantom, R2* repeated scanning on phantom have a highly reliability respectively (ICCconcentration=1, ICCR2*=0.999). No statistic differences were found for gender and age between group A and B(P>0.05). No statistic differences were found for the cortical and medullary R2* between left and right renal (P>0.05). No statistic differences were found for kidneys R2* in group A between the first and second scanning (P>0.05), It showed a well reliability respectively (ICCcortex= 0.847, ICCmedullation= 0.915). No statistic differences were found for renal R2* between group A and B (P>0.05). However, renal R2* was dramatically higher in medullation than in cortex and there was statistic difference (P<0.05).Conclusions: With CMRtools, multiple-echo GRE protocol is feasible for evaluating oxygenation in kidneys at 3.0 T MRI, it could provide a reliable evidence for clinic application to renals.
