Fallacy in direct cystourethrography.
Voiding cystourethrography is widely used in children to detect vesicoureteral reflux disease. A case of radionuclide voiding cystourethrography is reported, where the initial location of the catheter tip in an open ureter ostium might have lead to erroneous interpretation. Recommendations for catheter technique and control of imaging in voiding cystourethrography are given.
