DWI in human transplantation was regarded as a promising
indicator of graft dysfunction. We performed DWI using
rFOV ss-EPI with multi-b values in 46 renal allografts
recipients. Our results showed cortical ADC
T
and
F
P
differed
significantly among eGFR levels. Cortical F
P
presented
significant differences between each two subgroups and
correlated positively and significantly with eGFR. In
conclusion, the present investigation demonstrates that
multi-b rFOV DWI holds potential for functional
evaluation of renal allografts after transplantation.
