AIM To investigate the utility of renal diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to detect early renal
damage in patients with type 2 diabetes. METHODS Twenty-six diabetic patients (12 with …

Aim To investigate the clinical value of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in assessing renal
function changes in diabetic patients with early-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD), and the …

Background/Aims: Currently available clinical indicators of kidney disease lack the
sensitivity and/or specificity to identify early-stage diabetic nephropathy (DN). Quantitative …

Context: Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) is a reliable noninvasive tool to assess renal
function with medullary Fractional Anisotropy (FA) values showing the most consistent …

Purpose To demonstrate role of diffusion tensor imaging of the kidney in diabetic patients
and to correlate renal fractional anisotropy (FA) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of …

Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate whether magnetic resonance (MR)
diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) allows assessment of renal pathologies in a rat model of …

Our understanding of and treatment options for Diabetic Nephropathy (DN) is limited by a
lack of a non-invasive means to detect early-stage DN. In this study, we used Diffusion …

Objectives To prospectively investigate the capability of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM)
and conventional diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to identify early kidney function injury in type …

Purpose This study aimed to investigate the value of diffusion tensor imaging to assess renal
injury in a rat model of preclinical diabetic nephropathy. Methods Twenty-eight male …

Objective To investigate the renal fat fraction and water molecular diffusion features in
patients with early-stage DN using Dixon imaging and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) …
