Once the renal artery and vein were identified the renal artery was gently separated from the vein and a transit-time flow probe (Transonic, Ithaca, NY) was placed around the renal artery. After the ...

From the resonance phenomena, we suggest that the blood pressure wave in the kidney is synchronized and the pressure wave front arrives at all the peripheral vascular beds (PVBs) inphase. The phase ...

Our data also showed an increase of a-SM-actin expression in glomeruli and in the tubulointerstitial area from the renal cortex and of PCNA expression in the tubulointerstitial area from the renal ...

Such advancements hold promise for improving vessel quantification, classifications for veins and arteries and constructing detailed cortical surface maps of the vascular networks which may have ...

Background and Purpose—It has been hypothesized that cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) and chronic renal impairment may be part of a multisystem small-vessel disorder, but their association may ...

In this paper, we present an automated framework for renal tissue segmentation that computes renal parenchyma, cortex, and medulla volumetry in native MR volume data without any user interaction. We ...
