Diffusional
kurtosis imaging (DKI) is an advanced diffusion model and could identify the
heterogeneity of cellularity and microstructural complexity1,2. To
test whether the DKI could detect the functional changes of kidney in early Diabetic
kidney disease (DKD), the STZ-induced diabetic rats were applied in current
study. Further, the biochemical and pathological evidences would also be provided
to compare with the DKI biomarker.
