Core Tip	Radiological imaging plays an increasingly important role in diabetic kidney disease assessment, effectively complementing traditional biochemical markers. Ultrasonography remains the primary imaging modality, while advanced techniques including magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography provide enhanced evaluation of renal perfusion, fibrosis, and microstructural changes. Integration of multimodal imaging with clinical data improves diagnostic accuracy, enables earlier disease detection, and optimizes therapeutic decision-making, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes in this leading cause of chronic kidney disease.
