title: [Morphological and functional aspects of the kidney in children].
abstract: Ultrasonography is useful and effective in the evaluation of renal diseases in pediatric age. Sonography is well established as a screening tool to evaluate the kidney for the presence of renal obstruction. Distinction of the obstructed from the non obstructed dilated collecting system is a difficult problem. Doppler Ultrasonography offers potential advantages in the evaluation of childhood genitourinary tract abnormalities.
