Abstract Intravoxel Incoherent Motion (IVIM) refers to translational movements which within a
given voxel and during the measurement time present a distribution of speeds in orientation …

The concept of diffusion magnetic resonance (MR) imaging emerged in the mid-1980s,
together with the first images of water diffusion in the human brain, as a way to probe tissue …

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 …

Assessment of renal function and structure accurately remains essential in the diagnosis
and prognosis of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Advanced imaging, including Magnetic …

Purpose To examine the effect of low b‐values (0< b< 50 s/mm2) on the calculation of the
intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) derived pseudodiffusion parameter in the normal liver …

Renal tissue hypoperfusion and hypoxia are key elements in the pathophysiology of acute
kidney injury and its progression to chronic kidney disease. Yet, in vivo assessment of renal …

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 …
