title: Sonography of the neonatal genitourinary tract.
abstract: Ultrasound has become the modality of choice for the evaluation of the neonatal genitourinary tract. High frequency linear, vector, and curved array transducers (7 MHz, 5 MHz, 12 MHz) and portability of the equipment make a rapid bedside evaluation with exquisite anatomic detail possible. A major advantage of sonography over other modalities is real time observation and circumvention of sedation.
