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 …

Applications of diffusion-weighted (DW) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging outside the brain
have gained increasing importance in recent years. Owing to technical improvements in MR …

Purpose To assess the reproducibility and the distribution of intravoxel incoherent motion
(IVIM) and diffusion-tensor (DT) imaging parameters in healthy renal cortex and medulla at …

Purpose To investigate whether variability in reported renal apparent diffusion coefficient
(ADC) values in literature can be explained by the use of different diffusion weightings (b …

MRI of the kidney currently makes the transition from depiction of morphology to assessment
of function. Functional renal imaging methods provide information on diffusion and perfusion …

Purpose We used a combined intravoxel incoherent motion–diffusion tensor imaging (IVIM‐
DTI) methodology to distinguish structural from flow effects on renal diffusion anisotropy …

Diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI) involves data acquisitions at multiple b values. In this
paper, we presented a method of selecting the b values that maximize estimation precision …

Established as a method to study anatomic changes, such as renal tumors or atherosclerotic
vascular disease, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to interrogate renal function has only …

OBJECTIVE. We review the basics of functional renal imaging and highlight a few clinical
applications. CONCLUSION. Techniques such as contrast-enhanced MR renography …

Renal diseases pose a significant socio‐economic burden on healthcare systems. The
development of better diagnostics and prognostics is well‐recognized as a key strategy to …
