Streptozotocin induced diabetes was created in twenty mice while eighteen mice served as control. DTI & IVIM were performed at 0, 12 and 24 weeks after injection of streptozotocin. Histopathological analysis confirmed fibrosis in all diabetic mice. Increase in ADC & tissue diffusivity were found in the diabetes group at week 12, which might reflect an increased tubule volume that outweighed the effects of early fibrosis. FA was significantly reduced in the diabetes group at week 12 and represented tubular damage of renal fibrosis. This study showed the potential of FA as a biomarker of early diabetic nephropathy.
