Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVE: To establish the ability of contrast-enhanced motion corrected cadence pulse sequencing (CPS) to detect changes in renal blood flow induced by vasoactive substances in rats.
METHODS: Ultrasound contrast media was administered as a constant rate infusion into a phantom at a known rate and CPS data acquired. Rats were anesthetized and predrug CPS estimates of replenishment rate were made for the right kidney. Real-time motion correction was applied, and parametric images were generated from the CPS data. Group 1 rats (n = 7) were administered a vasodilator and group 2 rats (n = 3) were administered a vasoconstrictor. The CPS imaging of the kidney was repeated after ample time for drug effects to occur.
RESULTS: Contrast CPS accurately estimated flow velocity in the phantom model. In addition, CPS defined statistically significant differences between pre- and postdrug blood flow in the renal medulla (vasodilator, P < .01; vasoconstrictor, P < .0001) and cortex (vasoconstrictor, P < .0001).
CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that motion-corrected CPS ultrasound provides real-time quantification of renal blood flow alterations and may prove useful for the assessment of blood flow in transplanted kidneys.
