In recent years diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI) gained increasing importance in applications outside the brain. The main applications of this noninvasive technique in the body focus on tissue characterization, functional evaluation and predicting and monitoring treatment response in a broad spectrum of lesions and organs (1). The kidney is a particularly interesting organ to analyze by DW-MRI b...

However, ramping that appears in trial-averaged responses does not necessarily indicate that the spike rate ramps on single trials; a ramping average rate could also arise from instantaneous steps that o...
