Established as a method to study anatomic changes, such as renal tumors or atherosclerotic vascular disease, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to interrogate renal function has only recently begun to come of age. In this review, we briefly introduce some of the most important MRI techniques for renal functional imaging, and then review current findings on their use for diagnosis and monitoring of major kidney diseases. Specific applications include renovascular disease, diabetic nephropathy, renal transplants, renal masses, acute kidney injury, and pediatric anomalies. With this review, we hope to encourage more collaboration between nephrologists and radiologists to accelerate the development and application of modern MRI tools in nephrology clinics.
磁共振成像（MRI）作为一种研究诸如肾肿瘤或动脉粥样硬化性血管疾病等解剖学变化的方法已确立多年，而用于评估肾功能的MRI直到最近才开始成熟起来。在本综述中，我们简要介绍一些用于肾功能成像的最重要的MRI技术，然后回顾其在主要肾脏疾病诊断和监测中的应用现状。具体应用包括肾血管疾病、糖尿病肾病、肾移植、肾肿块、急性肾损伤和儿科肾脏异常。通过本综述，我们希望鼓励肾病学家和放射科医生之间开展更多合作，以加速现代MRI工具在肾病临床中的开发和应用。
