Abstract:Renal transplantation (RT) is the treatment of choice for end-stage renal disease, significantly improving patients’ survival and quality of life. However, approximately 3–23% of patients encounter post-operative complications, and radiology plays a major role for their early detection and treatment or follow-up planning. CT and MRI are excellent imaging modalities to evaluate renal transplant post-operative course; nevertheless, they are both associated with a high cost and low accessibility, as well as some … Show more
“…This Special Issue—“Imaging in non-traumatic emergencies”—consist of nine state-of-the-art articles by well-known experts in the field of emergency radiology. In the article “Contrast enhanced ultrasound compared with MRI and CT in the evaluation of post-renal transplant complications”, E. David et al [ 17 ] illustrate the possibilities of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in the early detection of post-renal transplant complications. This imaging modality is a relatively new approach compared to the classic imaging modalities such as MR and CT, which have a higher cost and lower accessibility.…”
