Abstract		Background. Magnetic resonance imaging is one of the most attractive approaches: the technology is widely available, it is not associated with the exposure to ionizing radiation, and does not require the injection of iodinated contrast agent. High field strength clinical magnets, high-performance gradient hardware, and ultrafast pulse sequence technology are rapidly making the vision of a comprehensive »one-stop shop« urologic MR imaging examination a reality. Conclusions. Difficulties that remain are related to the variable protocols of the examination and, therefore, it is mandatory to standardize as much as possible the techniques that are used in order to obtain reproducible information.
Summary		Izhodišča. Magnetnoresonančna preiskava je ena najbolj ustreznih preiskovalnih metod, saj bolnik ni izpostavljen ionizirajočemu sevanju in ne zahteva injiciranja jodovih kontrastnih sredstev. Visoka zmogljivost, dobra računalniška podpora in tehnologija hitrih pulznih frekvenc so tiste lastnosti, ki omogočajo dobro celostno oceno ledvičnih bolezni. Zaključki. Pri magnetnoresonačnih preiskavah predstavljajo posebno težavo različni protokoli preiskav, zato je pomembno, da tehnike preiskav čimbolj standardiziramo. Na ta način omogočimo ponovljivost in primerljivost rezultatov preiskav.
