Diffusion Tensor Imaging in Rat Models of Preclinical Diabetic Nephropathy: A Preliminary Study

PurposeThis study aimed to investigate the value of diffusion tensor imaging to assess renal injury in a rat model of preclinical diabetic nephropathy.MethodsTwenty-eight male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into two groups: the normal control (NC) group of 10 rats and the diabetic nephropathy (DN)...
