ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the value of virtual touch tissue quantification (VTQ) in the diagnosis of renal allograft fibrosis and analyze its advantages and limitations.@*METHODS@#The renal allografts of 54 patients with renal allograft biopsies or nephrectomy were assessed by Virtual Touch quantification of Siemens-Acuson S2000.@*RESULTS@#Stiffness of renal allograft was significantly correlated to the value of VTQ (Spearman r=0.796, P<0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#VTQ is a new technique in the assessment of renal allograft fibrosis.
