[Initial clinical experiences with RARE-MR urography].
Abstract
Potentials and limitations of a new, facultative non-tomographic Fast-Imaging sequence "RARE-MR-Urography" are presented. Its results in urological diseases are discussed on the basis of a pilot study of 35 patients. The images (4 s-32 s acquisition time) are extremely T2-weighted and display unbounded free water (urine). They reveal valuable information, not available with ultrasound or conventional radiology without application of contrast agents in the presence of urine retention. S/N problems reduce the accuracy of this method if the urinary tract contains only small amounts of urine.
