Article Synopsis
- The article had a typographical error in the section about the Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI method.
- Specifically, the error involved the intravenous injection rate of gadobutrol, which was mistakenly stated as 0.2 mL/s.
- This correction is important for accurately understanding the MRI methodology discussed in the article.
Background: Current methods to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) have shortcomings. Estimates based on serum creatinine are known to be inaccurate in the chronically ill and during acute changes in renal function. Gold standard methods such as inulin and Tc diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA) require blood or urine sampling and thus can be difficult to perform in children.

Methods: Eighteen infants underwent MRU in the absence of sedating medications using a 'feed and wrap' technique (FW-MRU). Dynamic contrast enhanced images were obtained.
