Experience with MRI in transplant patients is limited. The normal transplant kidney is characterized by a sharply defined corticomedullary border on T1 weighted images. Loss of CMC is seen in transplant rejection and in some patients with ATN. Presence of CMC does not rule out rejection, however. The spectrum of changes in cyclosporine toxicity is unclear, as only a few patients have been reported. For heart, liver, and pancreas transplantation magnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging may prove useful in the evaluation of organ viability preoperatively and in early detection of rejection. Carefully designed prospective studies are needed to better define the role of MRI in organ transplantation.
移植患者的磁共振成像（MRI）经验有限。正常移植肾在T1加权图像上的特征是皮质髓质边界清晰。在移植排斥反应和一些急性肾小管坏死（ATN）患者中可见皮质髓质边界消失。然而，皮质髓质边界的存在并不能排除排斥反应。由于仅报道了少数患者，环孢素毒性的变化范围尚不清楚。对于心脏、肝脏和胰腺移植，磁共振波谱和成像可能在术前评估器官活力和早期检测排斥反应方面证明有用。需要精心设计的前瞻性研究来更好地确定MRI在器官移植中的作用。
