Supersonic shear wave elastography of in vivo pig kidney: influence of blood pressure, urinary pressure and tissue anisotropy

The in vivo influence of renal anisotropy and of urinary and vascular pressure on elasticity values using ultrasonic supersonic shear wave elastography was studied in pigs. Experiments were conducted in agreement with the European Commission guidelines and directives of the French Research Ministry....
