This manuscript describes the use of ultrasound elastography, with the exception of liver
applications, and represents an update of the 2013 EFSUMB (European Federation of …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined as an alteration of kidney function and/or structure
lasting for more than 3 months and is a major public health issue. Histologically, the severity …

The complexity of transplant medicine pushes the boundaries of innate, human reasoning.
From networks of immune modulators to dynamic pharmacokinetics to variable …

Background There currently is a need for a non-invasive measure of renal fibrosis. We aim
to explore whether shear wave elastography (SWE)-derived estimates of tissue stiffness may …

Aim to assess the inter-operator reproducibility of kidney shear wave speed, evaluated by
means of Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI) elastography, and the factors which …

The kidney is an anisotropic organ, with higher elasticity along versus across nephrons. The
degree of mechanical anisotropy in the kidney may be diagnostically relevant if properly …

Objectives The aim of the study was to establish the relationship between the estimated
glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and kidney shear wave speed values assessed by acoustic …

Objective The aim of this study was to apply multifrequency magnetic resonance
elastography (MMRE) for assessment of kidney function based on renal stiffness of allografts …

Purpose To evaluate whether shear-wave sonoelastography can help differentiate stable
renal allograft from acute allograft dysfunction and chronic allograft dysfunction and to …

The aim of this study is to evaluate the usefulness of real-time elastography (RTE) in the
diagnosis of graft interstitial fibrosis. We prospectively enrolled 50 patients clinically …
