Comparing two bladder imaging tests in children having urological surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two imaging methods (a new PIC cystogram and the standard VCUG) to check how well they detect urinary reflux in children having endoscopic urological surgery. Participation may help improve imaging for future children.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be 0 to 18 years old.
- Your child is scheduled to have endoscopic urological surgery (a procedure using a small camera through the urinary opening).
- Your child has not had previous bladder or ureter surgery to fix reflux (urine flowing backward).
- Your child does not have a neurogenic bladder (bladder problems due to nerve damage) or severe bladder dysfunction.
- Your child does not have an active urinary tract infection at the time of the procedure.
- Your child can undergo fluoroscopic imaging (X-ray imaging), with no contrast allergy.

This study compares two types of imaging tests—a special ultrasound and a nuclear medicine scan—to see which is better at finding reflux (backward flow of urine) in young children who have had repeated UTIs. The goal is to find a safer, more accurate way to diagnose the condition.
This study tests a new way to measure bladder pressure in children to better understand bladder problems. It may help doctors tailor treatments for conditions like leaky bladder or trouble emptying.
This trial uses a special ultrasound technique to create detailed images of blood flow in the kidneys of children with congenital kidney and urinary tract conditions. It aims to improve how doctors assess blockages without needing radiation.
This trial studies whether doing an ultrasound scan after a child’s first febrile urinary tract infection (UTI) is useful. The goal is to see which children might need further attention based on the scan.
This study compares two minimally invasive surgical techniques to remove bladder stones in children ages 2–14. Both approaches aim to break up and remove stones with less recovery time than traditional open surgery.
This study tests whether a special ultrasound scan that measures kidney stiffness can predict how well a child's kidney will work after surgery to fix a ureter blockage. The goal is to help doctors know which children might recover better kidney function after the procedure.
