Efficacy of the echOpen Device to Detect Pyelocaliceal Dilation and Hepatic Steatosis

Depending on the clinical picture, the patient is examined with EchOpen to detect the presence or absence of pyelocaliceal dilatation or hepatic steatosis

Patient who was first examined with EchOpen, is secondarily examined with an ultrasound probe used routinely in the department to detect pyelocaliceal dilatation or hepatic steatosis

In a case of discordance between the assessments made with echOpen and the usual ultrasound device, an independent referent radiologist will use a standard ultrasound machine to constitute the gold standard (GS) rating. If the latter is not available to carry out the third ultrasound scan within a timeframe deemed clinically acceptable, then the evaluation will be carried out in a delayed manner, using the video loops and image captures saved during the two initial ultrasound scans.
