— Published date: 4/18/2026

Value Proposition: Method that uses ultrasound to detect functional nephron number in the kidneys.

Technology Description

Current clinical markers of kidney health (serum creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)) are insensitive to the early progressi…

MRI and PET nanoparticle imaging agents for kidney disease diagnostics and transplant evaluation

by | Feb 1, 2021 | Baldelomar, Edwin, Bennett, Kevin

— Technology Description:

Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have developed targeted, natural nanoparticle imaging agents that may be used to quantify kidney nephron endowment and diagnose renal disease with MRI or PET imaging.

Nephrons are the functional units of the kidney responsi…
