Evaluation of Ultrasound Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI)Shear Wave Velocity Imaging (SVI)in the Characterization of Pediatric Hydronephrosis
Pediatric upper urinary tract dilatation (hydronephrosis) is relatively common and may be
either obstructive or nonobstructive. While the upper urinary tract is commonly evaluated by
ultrasound, this imaging technique often fails to distinguish obstructed from nonobstructed
systems. ARFI SVI is a new ultrasound technology that can be used to determine stiffness by
measuring a tissue's shear wave velocity, may show alterations in parenchymal shear wave
velocity in kidneys that show obstruction on DRS (Diuretic renal scintigraphy)which serves
as the reference standard.
