Ultrasound Shear Wave Elastography Evaluation of Suspected and Known Biliary Atresia

NCT02652533 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 41

Last updated 2019-09-23

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The investigators plan to investigate the use of US shear wave elastography (SWE), a newly available imaging technology, in children with suspected/known BA.

Conditions

  • Biliary Atresia

Interventions

DEVICE

Ultrasound Shear Wave Elastography

The investigators have recently published a very small study in neonates/infants with suspected BA showing that US liver shear wave speed (i.e. - liver stiffness) can differentiate BA from other causes of cholestasis, potentially with a very high degree of accuracy. Additional research is needed to confirm these very preliminary results and determine if liver shear wave speed measurements either before or after (including longitudinally) Kasai can predict key outcomes.
