Background: Renal lesions are being discovered with increasing frequency due to rapid
development and advances in cross-sectional imaging studies being applied in clinical …

Diffusion MRI is an imaging technique that uses the random motion of water to probe tissue
microstructure. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) can quantitatively depict the organization and …

Background Diabetic kidney disease is the most common cause of ESRD. There is poor
correlation between the degree of renal fibrosis and current screening markers. A …

Objective To prospectively evaluate the feasibility of diffusion-weighted (DW) magnetic
resonance (MR) imaging in the assessment of renal function in patients with chronic kidney …

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 …

Objective Investigation of functional magnetic resonance (MR) imaging role in early
diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy (DN) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2, by …

We evaluated intra-rater, inter-rater, and between-scan reproducibility, hemispheric
differences, and the effect of age on apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and fractional …

Purpose Our aim was to evaluate the diagnostic potential of diffusion-weighted magnetic
resonance imaging (DW-MRI) and quantitative assessment of apparent diffusion coefficient …

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 …

Objectives To prospectively investigate the capability of arterial spin labeling (ASL) and
intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging (IVIM-DWI) for the identification of …
