Attenuation Measuring Ultrasound Shearwave Elastography (AMUSE) for Noninvasive Assessment of Acute Cellular Rejection in Post-transplant Liver Patients

Public Health Relevance: Successful development and optimization of our ultrasound-based measurement techniques described in this application will provide quantitative and model-free, true-to-nature measurements of liver viscoelasticity and give physicians a valuable tool that can be widely employed for understanding disease activity, progression of disease and response to treatment of acute cellular rejection following liver transplant. These methods can also be applied to other tissues involved with inflammatory processes.

Sources: National Institutes of Health, public records requests filed at multiple public state universities

Notes: When a more specific filing date is not available for an individual financial disclosure or conflict of interest form, we use the year the form was filed. If the year was not disclosed, we report the range of years covered by our public records requests. In a few cases, a start date was provided instead of a filing date. In those cases, we use the start date instead.

Fewer than 10% of records from the University of Florida and fewer than 1% of records from the University of Texas system were removed because they did not contain enough information.

ProPublica obtained additional financial disclosures and conflict of interest forms that we have not yet digitized and added to the database. You can download those disclosures in the ProPublica Data Store.
