Magnetic Resonance With Diffusion-Weighted Imaging in the Evaluation of Transplanted Kidneys: Preliminary Findings

Although studies with a larger number of patients are needed, DWI represents a promising tool for noninvasive assessment of renal function. An ADC ≥ 2.1 × 10−3 mm2/sec and a D ≥ 2.3 × 10−3 mm2/sec may be used as a threshold for predicting normal clearance.
