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

Figure 2

The long-axis coronal images of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in two allograft kidneys with early graft function (, 300 and 800 s/mm², followed by , , , and ). Typically, in IVIM-DWI images, signal intensities are relatively homogeneous within the graft kidney (a), as seen in a 38-year-old male subject shown in the top row. The 2 lower rows show different slices from a 53-year-old female subject (b). Note that wedge-shaped high signal intensities on the IVIM-DWI images and multifocal defects on , , and maps.
