Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) is a non-invasive method sensitive to
local water motion in the tissue. As a tool to probe the microstructure, including the presence …

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication of critical illness and carries a significant
risk of short‐and long‐term mortality. The prediction of the progression of AKI to long‐term …

Renal fibrosis is a useful biomarker for diagnosis and guidance of therapeutic interventions
of chronic kidney disease (CKD), a worldwide disease that affects more than 10% of the …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used for many years for anatomic evaluation
of the kidney. Recently developed methods attempt to go beyond anatomy to give …

Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a worldwide health problem, precise
functional and pathological assessment is beneficial to better treatment. Diffusion kurtosis …

Background Because chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a worldwide problem, accurate
pathological and functional evaluation is required for planning treatment and follow‐up …

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 probe the correlations of parameters derived from standard DWI and its
extending models including intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM), diffusion tensor imaging …

Objective: To explore the diagnostic performance of diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) and
incoherent intravoxel movement (IVIM) in evaluating the clinical and pathological …

Early detection of chronic kidney disease is important to prevent progression of irreversible
kidney damage, reducing the need for renal transplantation. Shear wave elastography is …
