Renal pseudocontinuous arterial spin labeling radiomics for early diagnosis and staging of chronic kidney disease

Key takeaways

This study tested a type of MRI scan that measures blood flow in the kidneys without any injected dye. Researchers used computer analysis of the images to try to spot chronic kidney disease early and tell its stages apart. It tests how well a scan detects disease, and it does not show that finding disease earlier leads to better outcomes. No abstract was available, so we could not check how many people were studied or how accurate the scan was.
