The correlation between gold-standard GFR by 125I
iothalamate clearance and renal blood flow measurements from a noninvasive 20-minute
PC-MRI are superior to that of the commonly used endogenous filtration markers,
serum creatinine or cystatin C.

Study protocol, MRI planning, and quantitative flow measurements obtained with
PC-MRI (note: renal veins not shown).
