There are currently many different criteria for defining delayed graft function in patients with renal transplant, some of which require subjective decision-making, others require observation over time. We propose the intravoxel incoherent motion MR sequence as a method to acquire objective, sensitive biomarkers early after transplantation. The proposed method is shown to provide information of rapid-moving fluid in addition to conventional slow diffusion from the renal parenchema, and have the potential to assess the renal graft condition from both diffusion-based and perfusion-based view.
