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 …

Objective To assess renal dysfunction in chronic kidney diseases using diffusion tensor
imaging (DTI). Methods Forty-seven patients with impaired renal function (study group) and …

Objective Our objective was to evaluate pathological and functional changes in chronic
kidney disease (CKD) using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) at 3 T. Methods There were fifty …

Background: Obstructive nephropathy is a common clinical disease. Objectives: To explore
the value of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in obstructive nephropathy. Materials and …

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is particularly suitable for kidney studies due to tubules,
collector ducts and blood vessels in the medulla that produce spatially restricted diffusion of …

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 …

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 …

Objectives To evaluate MR diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) as non-invasive diagnostic tool for
detection of acute and chronic allograft dysfunction and changes of organ microstructure …

Background: Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) at 3 T provides information on the microstructure
and pathophysiology of tissues that is not available from conventional imaging with an …

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 …
