Assessment shows predictive value for allograft dysfunction in kidney transplant recipients, indicating clinical utility.

Multi-b-value diffusion-weighted imaging effectively monitors renal transplant function over time, aiding in patient management.
Data from 66 kidney transplant recipients demonstrated significant differences in MRI parameters between stable and impaired allografts.
Longitudinal assessments showed the predictive value of parameters like medullary kurtosis and estimated glomerular filtration rate for dysfunction.
Incorporating multi-b-value DWI into routine monitoring could enhance early detection of renal allograft dysfunction.

Chen et al. (2025) studied this question.
