Synopsis

Keywords: Kidney, Diffusion Tensor Imaging, TractographyDiffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has been widely used to study renal microstructure. However, DTI-based tractography failed to track tubules throughout the kidney. Here, we aim to determine whether high angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI) could improve the tractography in the complicated tubular architectures of rodent kidney.
