Abstract
All available methods for assessing renal oxygenation are limited either in terms of their temporal or spatial resolution, their ability to quantify tissue oxygen tension (PO<sub>2</sub>), or in the settings in which they can be applied. Kodama and colleagues have developed a new method that utilizes dynamic nuclear polarization magnetic resonance imaging and an oxygen-sensitive paramagnetic agent (OX63). This new method generates quantitative maps of renal tissue PO<sub>2</sub> in millimeters of mercury.
