No-Radiation ultrasound could predict kidney stone treatment in kids
NCT ID NCT07506031
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a special ultrasound technique called shear wave elastography can predict how well kidney stone treatment (ESWL) will work in children. Currently, doctors use CT scans to estimate stone hardness, but these expose children to radiation. The study will include 108 children with kidney stones and follow them for 3 months after treatment to see if the ultrasound method is a reliable alternative.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
shear wave elastography (ultrasound technique)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a safer, radiation-free way to predict kidney stone treatment outcomes in children, reducing reliance on CT scans.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with only 108 participants. The ultrasound technique may not be accurate enough to replace CT scans, and results may not apply to all children.
