influence of hydration state. Materials and Methods Ten healthy volunteers underwent renal …

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 To evaluate the feasibility of renal diffusion tensor imaging and determine the
normative fractional anisotropy and apparent diffusion coefficient values at 3 Tesla MRI …

PURPOSE: This study assessed test–retest reliability and repeatability of diffusion tensor
imaging (DTI) in the kidneys. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Seven healthy volunteers (age …
