Intravoxel Incoherent Motion and Diffusion-Tensor Imaging in Renal Tissue under Hydration and Furosemide Flow Challenges

Diffusion MR metrics are sensitive to flow changes in kidney induced by diuretic challenges. The results of this study suggest that vascular flow, tubular dilation, water reabsorption, and intratubular flow all play important roles in diffusion-weighted imaging contrast.
