Purpose To evaluate the sensitivity of stimulated‐echo acquisition mode (STEAM) and
pulsed‐gradient spin‐echo (PGSE) diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) acquisitions with different …

Backgrounds Accumulating data demonstrated that the cortico-medullary difference in
apparent diffusion coefficient (ΔADC) of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging …

Background: Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is a chronic disorder affecting small
vessels within the brain, increasing the risk of stroke in patients with chronic kidney disease …

Introduction and objectives. Renal function is monitored using clinical and imaging methods;
however, an early assessment of renal damage is currently achievable by biopsy only …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate to which degree investment of
acquisition time in more encoding directions leads to better image quality (IQ) and what …

Aim Renal fibrosis (RF) is a well‐known marker of chronic kidney disease (CKD)
progression. However, renal biopsy is an available tool for evaluation of RF, non‐invasive …

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 …

Purpose To investigate the renal microstructure changes and hypoxia changes in type 2
diabetic patients and the relationship between them and glucose using both diffusion …

Background Identification of non‐diabetic renal disease (NDRD) in patients with type 2
diabetes mellitus (T2DM) may help tailor treatment. Intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion …

Objectives The main purpose of this article is to measure the fractional anisotropy (FA) and
apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of cortex and medulla of renal allograft using 3 …
