One-stop assessment of renal function and renal artery in hypertensive patients with suspected renal dysfunction: non-enhanced MRI using spatial labeling with multiple inversion pulses.

• Spatial labeling with multiple inversion pulses (SLEEK) improves renal corticomedullary differentiation in hypertensive patients with renal dysfunction compared with DWI. • SLEEK clearly displays renal artery in hypertensive patients with renal dysfunction. • SLEEK could be utilized as a one-stop assessment method for evaluating renal function and renal artery in hypertensive patients.
