This study investigated diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) values in evaluating the microstructural changes in the early stages of renal cold ischemia-reperfusion injuries (CIRIs). The results showed that both the mean diffusivity (MD) values and mean kurtosis (MK) values were negatively correlated with the pathologic scores, and the MK values showed more detailed microstructural changes than the MD values.
