Summary
This study tested a special MRI technique called magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) to see if it can detect scarring in transplanted kidneys. Researchers compared MRE results with traditional biopsy samples from 73 kidney transplant patients. The goal was to find a non-invasive way to monitor kidney health and reduce the need for repeated biopsies.
