In the kidneys, there is both blood flow through the capillaries and flow of pre-urine through
the tubuli and collecting ducts. We hypothesized that diffusion-weighted (DW) MRI measures …

Purpose To demonstrate that diffusion‐weighted images should be acquired at the instant of
maximum blood velocity in kidneys to extract the perfusion fraction (PF) by the bi …

Purpose To evaluate if a three‐component model correctly describes the diffusion signal in
the kidney and whether it can provide complementary anatomical or physiological …

Purpose To improve the reliability of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) model parameter
estimation for the DWI in the kidney using a novel image downsampling expedited adaptive …

PURPOSE: To investigate the relationship between estimated glomerular filtration rate
(eGFR) and parameters calculated using intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) imaging of the …

Purpose To assess the feasibility of measuring tubular and vascular signal fractions in the
human kidney using nonnegative least‐square (NNLS) analysis of intravoxel incoherent …

The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of multiple perfusion components on the
pseudo-diffusion coefficient D* in the bi-exponential intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) …

Objectives The aims of this study were to demonstrate the theoretical meaning of intravoxel
incoherent motion (IVIM) parameters and to compare the robustness of 2 biexponential …

Objective: Renal perfusion imaging may provide information about the hemodynamic
significance of a renal artery stenosis and could improve noninvasive characterization when …

By combining intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) we
introduce a new diffusion model called intravoxel oriented flow (IVOF) that accounts for …
