Abstract
SIM is a promising technology for rapid, near-patient, ex vivo renal biopsy assessment. By improving the ability to rapidly assess sufficiency of biopsy specimens and enabling immediate diagnostic capability, SIM aids in more effective biopsy performance, tissue triage, and patient counseling regarding management options. Additionally, because tissue is preserved, effective utilization of downstream diagnostic tests and molecular assessments are possible.
