title: Ultrasonography of the urinary tract in children.
abstract: The various urologic abnormalities for which ultrasonography can be a valuable diagnostic tool are discussed, including renal masses, nonfunction of the kidney, and abnormalities of the lower urinary tract. Ultrasonography is a useful adjunct to radionuclide imaging, intravenous urography, and renl angiography, and is particularly well suited for the pediatric population.
