Renal function is characterized by different physiologic aspects, including perfusion, glomerular filtration, interstitial diffusion, and tissue oxygenation. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) shows great promise in assessing these renal tissue characteristics noninvasively. The last decade has witnessed a dramatic progress in MRI techniques for renal function assessment. This article briefly describes relevant renal anatomy and physiology, reviews the applications of functional MRI techniques for the diagnosis of renal diseases, and lists unresolved issues that will require future work.
肾功能具有不同的生理方面，包括灌注、肾小球滤过、间质扩散和组织氧合。磁共振成像（MRI）在非侵入性评估这些肾脏组织特征方面显示出巨大的潜力。过去十年中，MRI 技术在肾功能评估方面取得了巨大的进展。本文简要描述了相关的肾脏解剖和生理学，回顾了功能 MRI 技术在肾脏疾病诊断中的应用，并列出了需要进一步研究的未解决问题。
