Evaluation of contrast-induced acute kidney injury using IVIM and DKI MRI in a rat model of diabetic nephropathy

Abstract Objective To assess the potential of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) and diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) in monitoring renal changes in a diabetic nephropathy (DN) rat model with acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) induced by iso-osmotic contrast media (IOCM) and low-osmotic contrast media (L...

description Abstract Objective To assess the potential of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) and diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) in monitoring renal changes in a diabetic nephropathy (DN) rat model with acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) induced by iso-osmotic contrast media (IOCM) and low-osmotic contrast media (LOCM). Methods A diabetic nephropathy rat model was established, and the animals were randomly split into the LOCM group and IOCM group (n = 13 per group), with iopamidol and iodixanol injection, respectively (4 g iodine/kg). MRI including IVIM and DKI was performed 24 h before contrast medium injections (baseline) and 1, 24, 48, and 72 h after injections. Changes in pure molecular diffusion (D), pseudo-diffusion coefficient (D*), perfusion fraction (f), mean diffusion (MD), mean kurtosis (MK), serum creatinine (SCr) and urea nitrogen (BUN), histopathology alterations, and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) expression were assessed. Inter-observer agreement was evaluated using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Results Compared against baseline levels, significant decreases in D, D*, and f were observed in all anatomical kidney compartments after contrast injection (p < 0.05). MD in the cortex (CO) and outer medullary (OM) gradually decreased, and MK in OM gradually increased 24–72 h after injection. D, D*, f, and MD were negatively correlated with the histopathologic findings and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) expression in all anatomical kidney compartments. Inter-observer reproducibility was generally good (ICCs ranging from 0.776 to 0.979). Conclusions IVIM and DKI provided noninvasive imaging parameters, which might offer effective detection of CI-AKI in DN.
