Comparison Between Photofluorography and Standard Fluoroscopic Voiding Cystourethrography in Evaluating Vesicoureteral Reflux in Children With Urinary Tract Infection
BACKGROUND Imaging of the urinary system is considered to be responsible for significant radiation in children. OBJECTIVES This study was conducted to measure and compare the radiation dose in spot films with photofluorography voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) in children. PATIENTS AND METHODS 111 [222 Kidney Urinary Unit (KUU)] pediatric patients, aged 1 month to 5 years, with symptomatic ...

The following sentence should be added to the end of the result in the abstract: " The results of this study are evident that VCUG with photofluorographic hardcopy provides high diagnostic value with very low radiation dose to patients (patient dose reduced by 5-9 folds). " In the abstract in line 3 of conclusions " 50-90% " should be changed to " 80-89% " : " our study suggests that the high v...

Background & Aims: Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR) is a common urinary tract disorder among pediatric population and defined as the retrograde flow of urine from the bladder into the ureters and renal collecting systems due to a failure in the ureterovesical valve function (1). Identifying children with VUR at an early age provides an opportunity to prevent episodes of acute pyelonephritis and the ...

Findings in cystourethrography that suggest lower urinary tract dysfunction in children with vesicoureteral reflux.
PURPOSE Children with lower urinary tract dysfunction and vesicoureteral reflux, at cystography assessment, frequently present alterations in the lower urinary tract anatomy such as dilated posterior urethra, irregularity of the bladder wall and diverticula. However, the significance of these findings is unknown. The objective of this study is to evaluate the incidence of these findings, their ...
