The goal of our study is to develop a multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) protocol for the assessment of renal transplant fibrosis. Our initial results show decrease of cortical and medullary ADC, cortical D and PF, and increase of cortical T1 in fibrotic allografts compared to functional allografts. We also observed loss of corticomedullary differentiation in ADC and T1 with fibrosis. We conclude that diffusion and T1 measurements are sensitive to renal allograft fibrosis, to be confirmed in a larger study.
