Summary:The diagnosis of the anatomic and functional state of urinary organs in girls with internal genital malformations and space-occupying lesions involves magnetic resonance imaging by administering the optimized dose of a magnetic resonance contrast agent (MRCA). The technology makes it possible to evaluate the anatomic features of the urinary tract (magnetic resonance urography), to perform abdominal vascular magnetic resonance angiography, and to draw a conclusion on renal functional status in the use of dynamic magnetic resonance renography. Within a study using one injected MRCA dose, both the anatomic and functional state of the kidney status can be examined, by evaluating MRCA passage singly in the cortical and medullary substances and pelvises, which increases diagnostic accuracy by 46% and promotes the optimization of management tactics in this category of patients.
