Multiparameter diffusion‐weighted imaging for characterizing pathological patterns in lupus nephritis patients: A preliminary study

Background Microstructural changes of lupus nephritis (LN) kidney such as inflammatory cell infiltration or fibrosis could influence water molecular movement or diffusion, which indicates that diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI) may become a valuable tool in evaluation of this disease. Purpose To explore whether multiparameter diffusion‐weighted imaging (mDWI) could contribute to characterize pathological patterns in LN patients. Study Type...
