Effects of kidney perfusion on renal stiffness and tissue fluidity measured with tomoelastography in an MRI-compatible ex vivo model

Stiffness plays a vital role in diagnosing renal fibrosis. However, perfusion influences renal stiffness in various chronic kidney diseases. Therefore, we aimed to characterize the effect of tissue perfusion on renal stiffness and tissue fluidity measured by tomoelastography based on multifrequency...
