Aim To assess the performance of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for
the assessment of renal fibrosis in chronic kidney disease (CKD), with histopathology as a …

Background Function and structure of the renal tubules is of great importance in better
understanding pathophysiology of renal failure [1, 2]. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has …

PURPOSE To evaluate the feasibility of renal diffusion tensor imaging and determine the
normative fractional anisotropy and apparent diffusion coefficient values at 3 Tesla MRI …

Introduction To assess if parameters in intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) and diffusion
tensor imaging (DTI) can be used to evaluate early renal fibrosis in a mouse model of …

Renal echo planar diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has clinical potential but suffers from
geometric distortion. We evaluated feasibility of reversed gradient distortion correction in 10 …

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of diffusion tensor imaging
of the kidney at a field strength of 3T. We assessed fractional anisotropy (FA) and apparent …

Lupus nephritis is one of the most common and severe complications of systemic lupus
erythematosus and is also a major predictor of poor prognosis and mortality. Lupus nephritis …

PURPOSE: This study assessed test–retest reliability and repeatability of diffusion tensor
imaging (DTI) in the kidneys. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Seven healthy volunteers (age …

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to determine the range of
findings at diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in patients with systemic …
