No results posted yet for this study

Summary

MR Elastography is a new technique aimed at non-invasively measuring the stiffness of tissues. It has recently given interesting results in the assessment of liver fibrosis.

The objectives of the current study are:

1. to develop an imaging protocol for MR Elastography of the kidneys;
2. To calculate the stiffness of normal kidneys;
3. To evaluate the variability of the measurements of kidney stiffness by repeating the procedure twice on the same volunteers.

Conditions

  • Healthy

Interventions

DEVICE

Pneumatic Driver

Ten healthy volunteers will undergo MR Elastography using a pneumatic driver connected to a commercially available speaker and the stiffness of the left kidney will be measured. The examination will be repeated on the same volunteers at least one month later and the same stiffness measurements will be performed.
