Purpose In individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD), neurological damage is
commonly observed. This neurodegeneration is closely linked to microstructural damage to …

Renal fibrosis (RF) is an indicator for progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Although
diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the leading cause of CKD and end-stage renal disease in …

Purpose To investigate the potential of histogram analysis based on diffusion kurtosis
imaging (DKI) in evaluating renal function and fibrosis associated with chronic kidney …

Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a risk factor for vascular disease and stroke.
The spectrum of brain injury and microstructural white matter abnormalities in children with …

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 …

Background To explore the characteristics of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and magnetic
resonance (MR) imaging in healthy native kidneys. Methods Seventy-three patients without …

Background: Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is a promising supplemental technique in
oncological magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We investigated the diagnostic utility of DWI …

(DKI) in assessing the renal damage in early-stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients …

Aim To establish the normal apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values in healthy kidneys,
comparing them with the literature, and assessing the correlation between ADC values …
