Example of diffusion maps in an animal with streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus (DM) and a control animal. a-d, b = 0 image, ADClow, ADCst, and ADCuh maps in a DM animal. e-h, b = 0 image, ADClow, ADCst and ADCuh maps in a control animal. On b = 0 images, the four anatomical layers of the kidney can be distinctively observed. In these diffusion maps, regions of interest were placed onto the cortex (1), the outer stripe of the outer medulla (2), the inner stripe of the outer medulla (3) and the inner medulla (4) as exemplarily demonstrated in a. In DM animals, ADCuh increased apparently in CO, OS and IS compared with controls (panels d and h)
