3D ultrasound may replace costly scans for kidney patients
NCT ID NCT03841149
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether 3D ultrasound can accurately measure kidney and tumor volumes compared to standard CT or MRI scans. 53 adults with chronic kidney disease or kidney tumors participated. Researchers compared 3D ultrasound measurements to those from contrast-enhanced CT or MRI to see if the simpler, radiation-free method could be a reliable alternative.
