Summary

This study looks at whether a special ultrasound technique, called shear wave elastography, can predict how well a common kidney stone treatment (ESWL) will work in children. Currently, doctors use CT scans to check stone hardness, but these expose kids to radiation. The study will include 108 children under 18 with kidney stones. If successful, this approach could reduce the need for CT scans and make treatment planning safer and simpler.
