MR urography has the potential to revolutionize imaging of the urinary tract in both adults and children, because of its ability to provide an unprecedented level of anatomic information and quantitative functional evaluation of each kidney. MR urography can now provide useful assessment of obstructive uropathy and may provide predictive information about which children will benefit from surgery. It has the potential to identify parameters that indicate a significant obstruction as opposed to self-limited hydronephrosis. Further technical developments in the field will produce greater insights into the pathophysiology of not only urologic disorders but also disorders of the kidney itself.
磁共振尿路造影有潜力彻底改变成人和儿童尿路成像，因为它能够以前所未有的水平提供每个肾脏的解剖信息和定量功能评估。磁共振尿路造影现在可以对梗阻性尿路病进行有用的评估，并且可能提供关于哪些儿童将从手术中受益的预测信息。它有潜力识别出表明存在严重梗阻而非自限性肾积水的参数。该领域的进一步技术发展将使人们对不仅是泌尿系统疾病，而且还有肾脏本身疾病的病理生理学有更深入的了解。
