Gray scale nephrosonography: current status.
Gray scale ultrasound evaluation of the kidney permits visualization of the texture of renal and hepatic parenchyma. This fact has led to more specific diagnoses in renal disease by non-invasive techniques. Current applications of gray scale ultrasound are presented. Ultrasound serves as a significant complementary technique to other modalities and is useful in some situations as a primary study.
