title: Pediatric uroradiology: state of the art.
abstract: Recent years have witnessed major strides in imaging modalities, including US and contrast-enhanced voiding urosonography, fluoroscopy, CT and MRI, and these have significantly impacted paediatric uroradiology. The trend is towards reduced or no radiation exposure and combined morphological and functional imaging. This review presents the currently available and recommended modalities in modern paediatric uroradiology practice.
