Ultrasound Elastography in Diagnosing Patients With Kidney or Liver Solid Focal Lesions

Not Recruiting

Trial ID: NCT01908166

Purpose

This clinical trial studies ultrasound elastography in diagnosing patients with kidney or liver solid focal lesions. New diagnostic procedures, such as ultrasound elastography, may be a less invasive way to check for kidney or liver solid focal lesions.
