[Ultrasound in pediatric urology].
GENERAL OBJECTIVE: To review technical considerations, indications, findings and limitations of ultrasound and Doppler in pediatric urology.


OBJECTIVE
This course aims to help the reader improve his/her own technical skills and knowledge of ultrasound findings as well as their significance in pediatric urology. The most common causes of misinterpretation and limitations are reviewed. The scope of the article is limited to common diseases: infection, urinary tract malformation, trauma and tumor. Because ultrasound cannot be separated from other imaging modalities, the indications for each of these imaging modalities are provided in relevant sections.
