THED palpates kidney non invasively

THED research is a highly innovative research platform for establishing the MRI-validated method time-harmonic elastography (THE) as an ultrasound imaging modality. THED research offers quantitative analysis of shear wave speed up to a penetration depth of 13 cm, which allows for shear wave propagation beyond fluid collections and the examination of obese patients.

A new publication of the Charité Berlin group shows the application of THED to the kidney.
