Sonography of the neonatal genitourinary tract.
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.
