Figure 2. Comparison of in vivo ultrasound volume estimations of all renal allografts in this study with graft weight, both performed on the day of necropsy. Estimations of graft size with ultrasound correlated significantly (Pearson correlation coefficient r=0.91, p<0.001) with the actual weight of the kidney, showing that such estimations with ultrasound closely represent size changes of the graft and can be used invivo to monitor graft size.
