Diffusion-Weighted Imaging and Diffusion Tensor Imaging Detect Delayed Graft Function and Correlate With Allograft Fibrosis in Patients Early After Kidney Transplantation

摘要

Purpose: To combine diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) for detection of allograft dysfunction in patients early after kidney transplantation and to correlate diffusion parameters with renal function and renal histology of allograft biopsies.
