[Doppler US of the urinary system and renal vessels in normal and pathologic conditions].
The interest of Doppler ultrasound (US) in urinary tract investigation has dramatically increased during the past 10 years. It can provide useful diagnostic informations in pedicular and intrarenal vascular disorders, some medical nephropathies, in the assessment of renal tumors and urinary tract disorders including urolithiasis, acute obstruction and ureteral reflux. Recent technical improvements including the development of US contrast agents (microbubbles) have contributed to increase the diagnostic accuracy of the technique.
