Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Kidney transplant (KTx) function assessment is important in treatment planning, while conventional MRI markers lack sensitivity for KTx function. Mechanical kidney properties may serve as MRI markers for renal allograft function. Hypothesis To determine if multifrequency MR elastography (MRE) is associated with KTx function.
