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 …

Our aim was to assess kidney shear wave speed by means of acoustic radiation force
impulse (ARFI) elastography in patients without kidney pathology (“normal” patients) and to …

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 …

Objectives The aim of this study was to identify the main influencing factor of the shear wave
velocity (SWV) of the kidneys measured by acoustic radiation force impulse elastography …

Aim Acoustic radiation force impulse is a noninvasive method for evaluating tissue elasticity
on ultrasound. Renal shear wave velocity measured by this technique has not been fully …

In previous studies of acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) elastography, using Virtual
Touch tissue quantification (VTQ)(Siemens Acuson S2000), it was reported that the …

Background: Some studies reported the correlations between renal parenchymal stiffness
measured by transient elastography or acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) and the …

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) to test
the elasticity of renal parenchyma by measuring the shear wave velocity (SWV) which might …

Objectives Chronic kidney disease (CKD), a progressive and irreversible pathological
syndrome, is the major cause of renal failure. Renal fibrosis is the principal process …

Aims: To evaluate the applicability of point shear wave elastography (pSWE) for measuring
renal parenchymal stiffness in healthy children and adolescents and to establish norm …
