INTRODUCTION: The diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) technique with intravoxel incoherent motion model enables the estimation of capillary blood volume as a perfusion-related parameter- (PP-) value. Therefore, the PP-value of the kidney theoretically reflects renal capillary blood volume. We analyzed the usefulness of the PP-value in estimating postoperative renal function in upper-tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) patients.
METHODS: Forty-eight consecutive patients who underwent magnetic resonance imaging before radical nephroureterectomy from 2011 to 2018 were analyzed. A PP-map displaying PP-values on a pixel-by-pixel basis was created from DWI signals (b-values of 0, 500, and 1,000 s/mm2). Two readers independently analyzed the renal PP-value. DWI-based split renal function (SRF) of the intact kidney was calculated by splitting serum Cr-based preoperative estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFRs). The predictive accuracy of the method was evaluated using renography as the reference standard.
RESULTS: Interobserver analysis revealed an excellent correlation value of 0.97. The SRF value showed a good linear correlation with the observed postoperative eGFR (r = 0.76, p < 0.001). The predictive accuracy of the DWI-based method was similar to that of the nuclear-based method.
CONCLUSION: This DWI-based evaluation of capillary blood volume provides a noninvasive tool for predicting the postoperative renal function, thereby facilitating the management of UTUC patients.
