title: Gray-scale ultrasonography in the diagnosis of polycystic kidney disease.
abstract: Five patients with polycystic disease of the kidney were examined with gray-scale ultrasonography. It was found that bilateral involvement may be demonstrated by ultrasound even when it cannot be seen on excretory urography. It is suggested that this technique be used in screening families in whom a history of polycystic kidney disease has been shown.
