Abstract
Using a combination of techniques, we are studying the progression of polycystic kidney disease (PKD) in a rat model as the disease progresses to renal failure. The goal of our work is to use ultrasound to noninvasively detect morphological changes early in the disease process when interventions are most successful and before there is a significant loss in renal function
