Estimation of glomerular filtration rate in a pediatric population using non-contrast kidney phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging.

In this pilot study, noninvasive GFR-MRI showed strong agreement with gold standard GFR in youth scheduled for BMT. Further work is needed to evaluate whether non-contrast GFR-MRI holds promise to become a superior alternative to eGFR and GFR by clearance techniques.
