What this Trial Is About
In this study, the condition of the kidney transplant in adults is to be assessed non-invasively using Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography and Ultrasound Localization Microscopy (ULM). ULM imaging can be performed in a 2-dimensional and a 3-dimensional way (2D and 3D ULM). Therefore, "ULM" in the following texts and measures will refer to 2D and 3D ULM. New, non-invasive markers that allow conclusions to be drawn about the condition of the transplant should reduce the need for invasive diagnostic procedures in the future.
