Figure 1 Renal hardness differences of elastography point quantification in different patients.
A1: The renocortical Young's Modulus (YM) of a simple diabetic patient was 6.11 kPa; A2: The YM of the renal medulla in a simple diabetic patient was 4.73 kPa; A3: The YM of the renal sinus in a simple diabetic patient was 3.64 kPa; B1: The renocortical YM of an early diabetic kidney disease (DKD) patient was 9.87 kPa; B2: The YM of the renal medulla in an early DKD patient was 7.26 kPa; B3: The YM of the renal sinus in an early DKD patient was 2.39 kPa; C1: The renocortical YM of a medium DKD patient was 14.29 kPa; C2: The YM of the renal medulla in a medium DKD patient was 8.05 kPa; C3: The YM of the renal sinus in a medium DKD patient was 4.34 kPa.
