Abstract

The applications of the use of second generation CM in the field of renal pathology includes the following types of diseases: ischemic, traumatic, inflammatory and expansive (the latter includes both cystic and solid masses). Another use is in cases of kidney transplants, in which software is now available to give a quantitative analysis that can define levels of parenchymal perfusion and determine the Intensity/Time curves.
