title: Gray scale nephrosonography: current status.
abstract: 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.
