Intravoxel incoherent motion MRI may offer an opportunity to identify early changes in renal function in acute leukemia.
Figure 1. Intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted MRI parametric maps in a 25-year-old man with AL. (a), ADC mapping. renal cortex ADC= 2.23×10-3mm2/sec, renal medulla ADC=1.83×10-3mm2/sec, (b), D mapping. renal cortex D= 2.10×10-3mm2/sec, renal medulla D=1.70×10-3mm2/sec, (c), f mapping. renal cortex f= 30.6%, renal medulla f=17.5%, (d), D* mapping. renal cortex D*= 62×10-3mm2/sec, renal medulla D*=65×10-3mm2/sec.
Figure 2. Intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted MRI parametric maps in a 25-year-old volunteer. (a), ADC mapping. renal cortex ADC= 2.34×10-3mm2/sec, renal medulla ADC=2.13×10-3mm2/sec, (b), D mapping. renal cortex D= 2.01×10-3mm2/sec, renal medulla D=1.95×10-3mm2/sec, (c), f mapping. renal cortex f= 27.2%, renal medulla f=20.0%, (d), D* mapping. renal cortex D*= 68×10-3mm2/sec, renal medulla D*=63×10-3mm2/sec.
