Predicting long-term kidney graft survival: can new trials be performed?
Twelve-month Cr level is an accurate surrogate for long-term outcome. The use of a combined endpoint (graft loss and 12-month Cr level) allows trials to be performed without exorbitant numbers.
The small size and low cost of the modules promise lower cost implementation of pTX systems compared with linear RFPAs located remotely. Further work must be done on control of the RF output in the presence of nonlinearities and coupling. Magn Reson Med, 2016. © 2016 International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine.
