## TL;DR

This paper explores using contrast-enhanced ultrasound to assess blood flow in the kidney cortex for better diagnosis and treatment of early renal artery disease.

## Contribution

The study introduces a safer and more convenient ultrasound method for evaluating renal cortex perfusion in renal artery disease.

## Key findings

- Renal cortical CEUS can assess kidney structure and microcirculation.
- The method offers potential for early diagnosis of renal artery disease.
- It provides a safer alternative for clinicians to monitor treatment progress.

## Abstract

Renal cortical blood perfusion CEUS can evaluate the structure and microcirculation of renal cortex, which is expected to provide a safer and more convenient evaluation system for clinicians in the diagnosis and treatment of early renal artery disease.
