Scientific title3D Contrast Enhanced UltraSound in perfusion studies of early renal transplants: a non-randomised study
Study acronym3D CEUS
Study objectivesTo assess the sensitivity of Three dimensional (3D) contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) of detecting perfusion defects in kidney transplants immediately post-surgery. Also, determine any prognostic value from the haemodynamic factors of the contrast in predicting graft outcome.
