متن کاملMR Voiding Cystourethrography (MRVC) for Vesicoureteric Reflux in unsedated infants
Introduction Vesico-ureteric reflux (VUR) is a congenital disorder of the paediatric renal tract, which allows the retrograde passage of urine up to the renal pelvis, predisposing to renal infection and consequential scarring, hypertension and renal failure. The current gold standard for diagnosis is the Micturating Cystourethrogram (MCUG), allowing snap-shot imaging of the urethra, bladder and...
