“…Because of the immaturity of the kidney, fMRU should ideally only be performed after the third month of life. However, this is not a general contraindication for the use of gadolinium [22]. The generally known contraindications for MRI examination are also contraindications for fMRU.…”

“…Die mit der Gabe von gadoliniumhaltigen MR-Kontrastmittel verbundenen Risiken (Ablagerungen, Anaphylaxie, nephrogene systemische Fibrose) sind bekannt. Wegen der Nierenunreife sollte die fMRU möglichst erst ab dem dritten Lebensmonat erfolgen, allerdings ist dies keine generelle Kontraindikation für die Gadolinium-Applikation 22 . Als Kontraindikation für die fMRU gelten die allgemein bekannten Kontraindikationen für eine MRT-Untersuchung.…”

Background Functional MR urography (fMRU) has developed into an innovative, radiation-free option for assessing parameters of kidney function in pediatric radiology. The importance of fMRU in comparison to the standardized established nuclear medicine procedure (99mTc-Mercapto-acetyltriglycerine, MAG3 scintigraphy) is shown using SWOT analysis. Methods To assess the current state of research, a selective literature search was carried out in PubMed. Taking into account the current scientific status, the examination technique, preparation, and evaluation of fMRU are presented. Results As a result of the comparison with MAG3, fMRU is suitable for certain indications and represents an optimal combination of morphological and functional representation of the kidneys and urinary tract, especially in the case of surgical consequences. Conclusion fMRU has been successfully established as a diagnostic method for assessing the morphology and function of the kidneys in competition with MAG3 scintigraphy. Key Points Citation Format
