[Value of sonography in radiology--the retroperitoneum].
Ultrasonography ranks highly among the diagnostic methods of retroperitoneal pathologies. It has shown its practicability for the screening of non-organ-linked retroperitoneal lesions. However, ultrasonography has proven to be inferior to computed tomography concerning the overall accuracy. In this review, the value of ultrasonography in the imaging of non-organ-linked retroperitoneal lesions will be discussed.
