Abstract
Purpose: We hypothesized that radiation-induced tubulointerstitial changes in the kidney can be assessed using MRI-based T2 relaxation time measurements.
Methods: We performed MRI, histology, and serum biochemistry in two mouse models of radiation nephropathy: one involving external beam radiotherapy and the other using internal irradiation with an α-particle-emitting actinium-225 radiolabeled antibody. We compared the mean T2 values of different renal compartments between control and external beam radiotherapy or α-particle-emitting actinium-225 radiolabeled antibody-treated groups and between the two radiation-treated groups using a Wilcoxon rank-sum test.
Results: Significantly higher T2 values were found in the cortex and outer stripe of the outer medulla in all treated animals compared with the control group (p < 0.05). In addition, these changes in T2 were observed before any changes in serum parameters, animal body weight, and kidney volume occurred.
Conclusion: T2 mapping is sensitive to radiation-induced tubulointerstitial changes in the kidney.
期刊介绍:
Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (Magn Reson Med) is an international journal devoted to the publication of original investigations concerned with all aspects of the development and use of nuclear magnetic resonance and electron paramagnetic resonance techniques for medical applications. Reports of original investigations in the areas of mathematics, computing, engineering, physics, biophysics, chemistry, biochemistry, and physiology directly relevant to magnetic resonance will be accepted, as well as methodology-oriented clinical studies.
