2024年7月31日 · The Bosniak classification of renal cysts is of limited value in ADPKD. Subtraction CT, MRI or DECT are sensitive to enhancement. MRI. High-resolution T2-weighted MRI is the most sensitive modality for the detection of small renal cysts. Simple cysts are thin-walled and the contents appear similar to water. T1: low signal. T2: high signal T1 C+ ...

Imaging is an important approach to diagnosis, monitoring and predicting outcomes for patients with Autosomal Dominant polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD). This paper reviews three common clinical imaging techniques, ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and their role in management of ADPKD.

2022年12月2日 · MRI is a useful modality for characterization of cysts in ADPKD owing to the ability to generate gadolinium-enhanced subtraction images, which makes the determination of enhancement and vascularity in suspicious lesions relatively easy when the subtraction is accurate and images are not degraded by motion artifact

Besides ultrasound scans, diagnostic imaging techniques used in ADPKD patients include computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Renal CT scans are performed in supine position with hands raised above …

US is the standard screening technique for ADPKD diagnosis and evaluation, but evaluation of kidney size, as opposed to function, is reportedly the better measurement in the evaluation of progression, with CT or MRI recommended for follow-up evaluation.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly used in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) for diagnosis, classification, assessment of disease progression and treatment response, and for identifying complications. Herein we review the role of MRI in the management of patients wit …

2023年2月20日 · Using age- and height-adjusted total kidney volume, the Mayo Clinic Imaging Classification provides a validated approach to assess the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression in autosomal...

A new method using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) accurately tracks structural changes that predict functional changes earlier than standard blood and urine tests in people with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (PKD), according …

Imaging is an important approach to diagnosis, monitoring, and predicting outcomes for patients with autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease. This article reviews three common clinical imaging techniques, ultrasonography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and their role in the ma …

Current guidelines suggest performing brain MRI only in the subjects with a positive familiar history of IAs or subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). This is a retrospective case-control analysis to evaluate the usefulness of a MR screening program in ADPKD patients.
