Brief Summary:
The goal of this clinical research study is to find out if 3 Tesla MRI is as good as CT scan in the evaluation of kidney tumors
Objectives
To provide preliminary data to enable subsequent development of an MRI protocol at 3 Tesla for evaluation of renal tumors and their vascular supply which can be adopted in patients who are unable to undergo CT evaluation

Detailed Description:
3 Tesla MRI is a new MRI scanner that in theory can produce better images than currently available MRI scanners
Currently CT scanning is the main way of evaluating tumors in the kidneys However there are some patients who cannot have CT scans usually because of allergy to CT contrast medium or kidney damagefailure It is with these patients that researchers are hoping to use a technique using MRI that is as good as CT scanning
As part of your standard of care your doctor is requesting a CT scan of your kidneys and abdomen If you take part in this study you will have a 3 Tesla MRI scan of your kidneys and abdomen as well within 15 days following your routine CT
For the 3 Tesla MRI scan you will be lying flat on the MRI scanner and as with a regular scan you will have a small needle placed in a vein in your arm to inject the contrast dye A diuretic Lasix will be given to help distend the internal tubes in the kidney to help view your kidney better The MRI scan will take between 1-2 hours to perform As with regular scans you may be asked to hold your breath on occasions
If there is a concern about your kidney function blood about 1 teaspoon will be drawn to test your kidney function before you have the MRI
Your participation in the study will be complete at the end of the MRI scan The routine CT scan will be the main decision making examination However if the MRI shows something different and potentially relevant to your care your referring physician will be informed
This is an investigational study A total of 45 patients will take part in this study All will be enrolled at MD Anderson
