摘要

Background: Biexponential analysis has been used increasingly to obtain contributions of both diffusion and micro-perfusion to the signal decay in diffusion-weighted imaging DWI of different parts of the body. Purpose: To compare biexponential diffusion parameters of transplanted kidneys obtained with three different calculation methods.Material and Methods: DWI was acquired in 15 renal allograft recipients (eight men, seven women; mean age, 52.4± 14.3 years) using a paracoronal EPI sequence with 16 b-values (b = 0-750s/mm~2) and six averages at I.5T. No respiratory gating was used. Three different calculation methods were used for the calculation of biexponential diffusion parameters: F_p, ADCp, and ADC_D were calculated without fixing any parameter a priori (calculation method I); ADCp was fixed to 12.0 mum~2/ms, whereas F_p and ADC_D were calculated using the biexponential model (calculation method 2); multistep approach with monoexponential fitting of the high b-value portion (b >= 250 s/mm~2) for determination of ADC_D and assessment of the low b intercept for determination of F_p (calculation method 3). For quantitative analysis, ROI measurements were performed on the according parameter maps. Results: Mean ADC_D values of the renal cortex using calculation method I were significantly lower than using calculation methods 2 and 3 (P<0.001). There was a significant correlation between calculation methods I and 2 (r = 0.69 (P< 0.005) and calculation methods 1 and 3 (r = 0.59; P<0.05) as well as calculation methods 2 and 3 (r = 0.98; P<0.001). Mean F_p values of the renal cortex were higher with calculation method I than with calculation methods 2 and 3 (P < 0.001). For F_p, only the correlation between calculation methods 2 and 3 was significant (r = 0.98; P < 0.001). Conclusion: Biexponential diffusion parameters differ significantly depending on the calculation methods used for their calculation.
