Intra and interobserver variability of renal allograft ultrasound volume and resistive index measurements
Purpose. Aim of the present study was to evaluate the repeatability and reproducibility of the Doppler Resistive Index (R.I.) and the Ultrasound renal volume measurement in renal transplants. Materials and methods. Twenty-six consecutive patients (18 men, 8 women) mean age of 42,8 12,4 years (M +/- SD) (range 22-65 years) were studied twice by each of two trained sonographers; using a color Doppler ultrasound scanner. Twelve of them had a normal allograft function (defined as stable serum creatinine levels
