Ultrasound-guided fluoro for kidney stones cuts radiation to kids

AuntMinnie

Fluoroscopy-assisted ultrasound guidance for mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mini-PCNL) procedures in children is a safer and more effective approach than fluoroscopy alone, researchers have found. But PCNL does impart radiation, and clinicians have sought to mitigate this exposure, especially to pediatric patients.

PCN placement leads to greater radiation exposure for pregnant women

AuntMinnie

Initial percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) tube placement leads to more radiation exposure for pregnant women with suspected kidney stones, according to a study published October 27 in Urology. Options include ureteral stent, PCN, or primary ureteroscopy, with the potential for multiple subsequent procedures that often use fluoroscopy.
