Comparison 0f Ultrasound Findings with Voiding Cystourethrography in Detecting Vesicoureteral Reflux in Children
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 ...
متن کاملComparison 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 ...
متن کاملComparison of Renal Ultrasound and Voiding Cystourethrography in the Detection of Vesicoureteral Reflux
Background: This study evaluates the accuracy of renal ultrasonography (US) in the detection of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) compared to voiding cystourethrography (VCUG). Martials and Methods:We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 131 children with urinary tract infection. Ultrasound findings were considered to be suggestive of VUR if a “pelvocalyceal dilatation”‚ “retrovesical uret...

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...
