Non-invasive evaluation of interstitial renal fibrosis would help monitoring chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression and prognosis prediction. This study was aimed to evaluate renal interstitial fibrosis by diffusion relaxation correlated spectrum imaging (DR-CSI). Correlation was found between DR-CSI volume fractions and interstitial fibrosis level (IFL). VB illustrated best diagnostic performance among MRI indicators. We suggest DR-CSI is of potential value in the evaluation of renal interstitial fibrosis.
