Mouse models of disease, especially using transgenic and knockout technologies, are powerful tools to analyze the molecular basis of disease. We recently reported that a new dynamic micro-MRI method with dendrimer-based contrast agents can visualize renal structure and function in normal living mice and mice with acute renal failure. While MRI contrast enhancement is useful for detecting functional impairment of the kidneys, this technology has limitations in assessing morphologic changes, particularly cystic disease, because contrast-enhanced micro-MRI depicts cysts as low-intensity areas that cannot be distinguished from fibrotic foci.
