Fig. 3

Correlation between renal optical density (OD) values of aquaporin-2 (AQP-2) expression and values of apparent diffusion coefficient obtained with ultra-high b-value (ADCuh). Significantly positive correlations are depicted for the outer stripe of the outer medulla in (b) (r = 0.598, p < 0.001), the inner stripe of the outer medulla in (c) (r = 0.490, p = 0.006,) and the inner medulla in (d) (r = 0.451, p = 0.012). Although there was a positive correlation between ADCuh and OD values of AQP-2 expression in cortex in (a) (r = 0.427, p = 0.018), there was no significant difference after Bonferroni's correction
