Abstract
We assessed cardiac death(CD)kidney tissue by BOLD(blood oxygenation-level dependency)MRI and diffusion MRI. BOLD and diffusion MRI successfully and non-invasively imaged and quantified red cell congestion and edema in CD grafts respectively. They can predict organ damage, and therefore the outcome, of transplanted CD kidney grafts.
