Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI)
and the associated method of intravoxel incoherent
motion imaging (IVIM) are of increasing relevance in the
clinical routine. The purpose of our study was to
investigate the effects of partial nephrectomy in
kidneys with solid renal masses on DW-MRI and
IVIM-derived parameters. We were able to show that
perfusion related IVIM parameters are highly sensitive
to partial nephrectomy and are promising candidates to
assess kidney functionality without the need for
contrast agents.
