Detection and Localization of Proteinuria by Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging Using MS325 -- Zhang et al., 10.1681/ASN.2004110981

This is one more new possible application for MRI. As time passes by there will be more and more such functional applications coming in, which will only serve to increase the utility of our imaging modalities.

This abstract describes the use of albumin bound Gd in the assessment of proteinuria using MRI. Though the study has been performed in swine, if it can be replicated in humans, it will make a big difference.
