Intravoxel Incoherent Motion-Diffusion-Weighted MRI for Investigation of Delayed Graft Function Immediately after Kidney Transplantation

Figure 1

Morphological images of allograft kidneys from two subjects with early graft function (EGF) and delayed graft function (DGF). On the left, top and bottom are long-axis coronal fast-spin-echo T1WIs (TR/TE 500/9 ms). The images show distinct corticomedullary differentiation (CMD) in a patient with EGF (a) and loss of CMD in a patient with DGF (b).On the right, top and bottom, in the same two patients, no CMD was noted in fast-spin-echo T2WIs (TR/TE 3000/80 ms).
