In a world first, University of Ottawa scientists have introduced a metal-free MRI dye capable of mapping kidney function with unprecedented accuracy. This technique will modernize urology, allow for ...
Calvin Sun was a healthy 37-year-old when a full-body MRI scan showed a cyst in his kidney. Sun saw a urologist who was cautiously optimistic that it wasn’t cancerous and offered him a surgery ...
Incidental detection has increased with ubiquitous CT/MRI, inflating early-stage ‘small renal mass’ diagnoses and complicating interpretation of a ~5% rise in <50-year incidence. Obesity, hypertension ...
The gold standard test for predicting the onset of diabetic kidney disease is the albuminuria test. However, detecting albuminuria alone has limited sensitivity and specificity in end-stage renal ...
