Figure 2 Regions of interests drawn on diffusion-weighted images (b = 0 s/mm2).
A: In a healthy kidney, mean cortical FA = 0.532 and mean medullary FA = 0.726; B: In a diabetic patient with NAU, mean cortical FA = 0.392 and mean medullary FA = 0.553; C: In a diabetic patient with MAU, mean cortical FA = 0.344 and mean medullary FA = 0.438. Note that no remarkable difference regarding the renal anatomic structure was observed among the three kidneys. FA: Fractional anisotropy; NAU: Normoalbuminuria; MAU: Microalbuminuria.
