Summary
The goal of this study is to develop a non-invasive imaging test for in vivo detection of
kidney transplant rejection. The hypotheses are that 1) Ferumoxytol-MRI can generate accurate
estimates of tissue iron concentrations and tissue macrophages. 2) The signal given by a
renal allograft on Ferumoxytol-MRI demonstrates significant differences between rejected and
non-rejected transplants.
