“…2D SWE showed conclusive results in a study on postoperative follow-up on 31 pediatric patients with the patients that underwent standard open dismembered pyeloplasty by the same surgeon having lower SW velocities at three months (2.73 m/s) and six months (2.57 m/s) compared to the preoperative mean reference value (3.21 m/s). The SW velocities remained unchanged or increased in patients who did not undergo surgery [ 32 ].…”

The aim of this article is to review the utility of elastography in the day-to-day clinical practice of the urologist. An electronic database search was performed on PubMed and Cochrane Library with a date range between January 2000 and December 2021. The search yielded 94 articles that passed the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The articles were reviewed and discussed by organ, pathology and according to the physical principle underlying the elastographic method. Elastography was used in the study of normal organs, tumoral masses, chronic upper and lower urinary tract obstructive diseases, dysfunctions of the lower urinary tract and the male reproductive system, and as a pre- and post-treatment monitoring tool. Elastography has numerous applications in urology, but due to a lack of standardization in the methodology and equipment, further studies are required.

AimsThe purpose of this study is to assess the diagnostic value of SWE (shear wave elastography) and renal parenchymal elasticity and microvascularization with the SMI (super microvascular imaging) technique in diagnosing and predicting the progression of renal parenchymal damage in pediatric patients with hydronephrosis.Patients and MethodsA total of 45 patients were included in the prospective study. To evaluate parenchymal changes, SWE and SMI‐Vacularity Index (VI) measurements were performed in various sections of the affected and normal kidneys. The affected and control renal pelvises' anteroposterior (AP) diameters were also measured.ResultsThe average SWE values were measured as 16.62 kPa for the affected kidneys, whereas the control kidneys showed an average SWE value of 12.70 kPa, indicating a statistically significant difference (p < .01). Furthermore, in the affected kidneys, the average SMI‐VI value was measured as 5.92, whereas the control kidneys exhibited a higher average SMI‐VI value of 6.64, showing a statistically significant difference (p < .01). A reverse correlation was found between renal pelvis AP diameter and SMI‐VI values, while a positive correlation existed between renal pelvis AP diameter and SWE values.ConclusionsWe believe that SWE and SMI may be useful for diagnosing and predicting the progression of renal parenchymal damage in pediatric hydronephrotic patients.
