In this video, a patient suspected of suffering from renal colic shows a profile with very low echogenicity. And yet... thanks to the echOpen probe, the practitioner is able to resolve his doubts about the dilatation of the pyelocalic tract, a decisive factor in orienting the diagnosis and management. This case study perfectly illustrates the value of clinical ultrasound in situations where doubt persists:
- An invaluable decision-making aid in an atypical case
- Better-targeted therapeutic orientation
- And ultimately, faster, more reassuring care for the patient.
