Imaging of neonatal renal masses.
The radiologic evaluation of the neonate with a suspected or clinically palpable renal mass has evolved. There is increasing use of ultrasound and a parallel decrease of excretory urography. Postnatal imaging studies should be performed in a sequence to complement data provided by prenatal sonography, clinical examination, and family history.
