NCT ID NCT00614081
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a special MRI scan can accurately measure how well a transplanted kidney is working. Researchers compared the MRI results to the standard method (Cr51-EDTA) in 71 kidney transplant patients. The goal was to find a simpler, non-invasive way to monitor kidney health after transplant.
