Summary

Urinary bladder fibrosis (thickening and scarring) is fairly uncommon in children. Traditionally, the presence of urinary bladder fibrosis has been confirmed directly with bladder biopsy or using urodynamic testing. In this study we will use ultrasound scanning and ARFI (acoustic radiation force impulse) wave velocities to potentially identify any urinary bladder wall fibrosis.

Conditions

  • Bladder Fibrosis

Interventions

DEVICE

ARFI-Derived Shear Wave Velocities

An ultrasound based scan uses ARFI, an acoustic radiation force impulse to estimate shear wave velocities during scanning of the urinary bladder. The research ultrasound scan lasts about 10 to 15 minutes.
