High-resolution diffusion tensor imaging of the human kidneys using a free-breathing, multi-slice, targeted field of view approach

Fractional anisotropy (FA) obtained by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) can be used to image the kidneys without any contrast media. FA of the medulla has been shown to correlate with kidney function. It is expected that higher spatial resolution would improve the depiction of small structures within...
