Purpose The commonly used clinical indicators are not sensitive enough on detecting early
chronic kidney disease (CKD), whether functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can …

PURPOSE: To prospectively evaluate feasibility of diffusion-weighted (DW) magnetic
resonance (MR) imaging in assessment of renal function in healthy volunteers and patients …

Kidney cortical interstitial fibrosis is highly predictive of kidney prognosis and is currently
assessed by evaluation of a biopsy. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging is a …

Aim To diagnose earlier kidney failure, we investigated renal functions with diffusion-
weighted imaging (DWI). Methods We evaluated the DWI of 62 patients with chronic kidney …

Background Kidney cortical interstitial fibrosis (IF) is highly predictive of renal prognosis and
is currently assessed by the evaluation of a biopsy. Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging …

Objectives To investigate the diagnostic value of functional MRI to assess renal interstitial
fibrosis in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods We prospectively recruited …

Diffusion‐weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW‐MRI) is an established technique to
detect the changes of the diffusion of water in biological tissues and reflect the …

Purpose To assess the diagnostic value of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in
distinguishing between renal malignant and benign lesions. Materials and methods …

Objectives To explore the effectiveness of diffusion quantitative parameters derived from
advanced diffusion models in detecting brain microstructural changes in patients with …

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 …
