Consensus-based technical recommendations for clinical translation of renal diffusion-weighted MRI

Objectives Standardization is an important milestone in the validation of DWI-based parameters as imaging biomarkers for renal disease. Here, we propose technical recommendations on three variants of renal DWI, monoexponential DWI, IVIM and DTI, as well as associated MRI biomarkers (ADC, D , D *, f , FA and MD) to aid ongoing international efforts on methodological harmonization. Materials and methods Reported DWI biomarkers from 194 prior renal...
