Figure 2

Fifty-eight-year-old female patient with kidney transplant in the right pelvic region. MRI scan showed multifocal, wedge-shaped signal alterations clearly in DWI-b800 (arrow) while T2w imaging could only depict slight pathologic signal (triangle). The diagnosis of nephritis was finally confirmed by urine analysis and laboratory findings.
