About the Cover:<br />
The cover figure shows a color tractography map of a transplanted kidney in a 17-year<br />
old girl. The image was processed from diffusion tensor imaging data obtained on a<br />
3 Tesla MRI magnet at the UCSF Mission Bay Hospital. The different colors represent<br />
the orientation of flow within the small renal tubules of the transplanted kidney.<br />
This study was performed as part of a pilot study investigating the use of diffusion<br />
tensor imaging as a potential non-invasive biomarker for assessment of pediatric renal<br />
transplant health. The study was funded by seed grants from the UCSF Department of<br />
Radiology and Biomedical Imaging and the Society for Pediatric Radiology.<br />
