The ideal preservation temperature for donation after circulatory death kidney grafts is unknown. We investigated whether subnormothermic (22 °C) ex vivo machine perfusion could improve metabolism and reduce ischemia-reperfusion injury.To mimic procurement, kidneys from 45-kg pigs underwent 60 min of warm ischemia. Kidneys were then perfused 4 h with Belzer solution UW at 22 °C or before transplantation. Magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging coupled LCModel fitting was used to assess...
Background. The lack of organs for kidney transplantation is a growing concern. Expansion in organ supply has been proposed through the use after circulatory death (donation [DCD]). However, many DCD grafts are discarded because long warm ischemia times, and absence reliable measure viability. 31 P magnetic resonance imaging (pMRI) spectroscopy noninvasive method to detect high-energy phosphate metabolites, such as ATP. Thus, pMRI could predict energy state, its viability before...
MRI, a widespread non-invasive medical imaging modality, is highly sensitive to patient motion.

In rodents, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) reduces ischemia-reperfusion injury and improves renal graft function after transplantation. Here, we hypothesized that the benefits of H2S are conserved in pigs, a more clinically relevant model.Adult porcine kidneys retrieved immediately or 60 min warm ischemia (WI) were exposed to 100 µM sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) (1) during hypothermic ex vivo perfusion only, (2) WI (3) both perfusion. Kidney was evaluated with dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI. MRI...

Motivation: Motion correction in MRI predominantly relies on image-based methods and continues to be a challenge. Innovative approaches could harness better motion information latent k-space (i.e., the measurement space). Goal(s): Developing reference-less pipeline using deep learning. Approach: Our combines learning for parameter estimation with model-based image reconstruction. Large datasets were generated through physics-based simulations 2D brain acquisitions enhance model training...
Abstract Objectives Phosphorus-31 magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging ( 31 P-MRSI) is a non-invasive tool for assessing cellular high-energy metabolism in-vivo. However, its acquisition suffers from low sensitivity, which necessitates large voxel sizes or multiple averages to achieve an acceptable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), resulting in long scan times. Materials and methods To overcome these limitations, we propose reconstruction scheme FID-MRSI sequences. Specifically, employed...

Abstract Objective Organ donation after circulatory death [DCD] has the potential to reduce shortage of kidneys available for transplantation. However, many DCD grafts are discarded because long warm ischemia times. Strategies reducing oxygen demand may minimize damages caused by ischemia/reperfusion injury. Ex-vivo, Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) reduces and ATP consumption isolated perfused kidney, inflammation improves renal function following reperfusion injury in rodents. benefits applicability...
Improved preservation strategies for the storage of graft collected after circulatory death could increase number kidneys available and improve patient survival. Warm (22 37°C) ex-vivo perfusion has emerged as a feasible strategy organ recovery, but underlying mechanism remains elusive. Using phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging ( 31 P-MRSI) histological scoring, we evaluated kidney viability adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production during sub-normothermic (SNOP) versus...
