  1. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation. Statistical analysis was performed using an independent t test between the two groups. DM diabetes mellitus, CO cortex, OS outer stripe of the outer medulla, IS inner stripe of the outer medulla, IM inner medulla, ADC low ADC calculated using the low b-values, ADC st ADC calculated using the standard b-values, ADC uh ADC calculated using the ultra-high b-values, ns not significant. Based on Bonferroni’s correction, p < 0.017 (0.05/3) was considered to indicate a statistically significant difference
