• Supersonic shear imaging elastography can measure cortical stiffness in renal transplants • The level of cortical stiffness is correlated with the global degree of tissue lesions • The global histological deterioration of transplanted kidneys can be quantified using elastography.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
