Study Summary

This trial will test if new software can help find kidney stones and measure their size.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 21 who have kidney stones visible on x-ray and can consent to participate. They must also have a recent CT scan. It's not for those under 21, unable to consent, with stones invisible on x-ray, or with certain systemic diseases or renal disorders.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if new software that processes ultrasound images can better detect and size kidney stones using the Verasonics Data Acquisition System (VDAS).See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves imaging rather than medication or invasive procedures, side effects are minimal but may include discomfort during the ultrasound process.

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Number and location of stones identified on research ultrasound vs. clinically. The outcome measured will be the accuracy new ultrasound images versus existing clinical data.
Secondary outcome measures
Size of stones determined with research ultrasound vs. clinically. The outcome measured will be the accuracy new ultrasound images versus existing clinical data.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Kidney stonesExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Device: Verasonics Data Acquisition System (VDAS) Other Names: Verasonics Data Acquisition System (VDAS) Verasonics Ultrasound Engine Subjects will be imaged the Verasonics Data Acquisition System (VDAS) using conventional clinical outputs within FDA limits. The image processing has been modified. Subjects in this arm will be imaged by ultrasound by the VDAS. Stone location and size will be determined and compared to clinical determination of stone location and size.
