title: [The contribution of ultrasound in urologic diagnosis].
abstract: Urological diagnosis is considerably improved by the application of sonography. The best results are undoubtedly obtained if the investigations are carried out by an appropriately trained urologist familiar with clinical differential diagnosis. Various sonographic techniques which have proved helpful in this field are discussed, and a novel method for assessing the residual urinary volume is described.
