Fig. 6From: Effect of renal perfusion and structural heterogeneity on shear wave elastography of the kidney: an in vivo and ex vivo studyRepresentative histopathological sections of the renal cortex, medulla and sinus in kidneys of the control and 30 min, 60 min, and 90 min after ligation of the renal vein in vivo. Compared with the control, the structure of the renal cortex (a), medulla (b) and sinus (c) exhibited progressive changes with increasing congestion time. Haematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining was performed (original magnification, ×400)Back to article page
