urinary tract infections are common in children. the available gold standard method for diagnosis, tc-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid scan is expensive and exposes patients to considerable amount of radiation. this study was performed to compare and assess the efficacy of power doppler ultrasound versus tc-99m dmsa scan for diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis. a quasi experimental study was conducted...

Purpose: To evaluate the amalgamation of scintigraphy and sonography techniques in prognosticating renal disease. Methods: All patients were subjected to while 68 underwent ultrasonography. Ninety-six patients’ imaging data was statistically analyzed including 43 females 53 males. Renal U/S reported anatomical anomaly 94.1% versus 85.4% detected by scintigraphy. There 41 out diagnosed with hydr...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the importance of Doppler ultrasonography in diagnosing renal artery stenosis in transplanted kidneys using angiography as the accepted gold standard. Fourteen kidney graft recipients with clinical severe hypertension, impaired renal function, or both had their renal artery blood flow studied by Doppler ultrasonography before angiography. Seven patien...

Three-dimensional color Doppler ultrasonography is a new technique to evaluate the pattern of blood vessels. This study was performed to assess the feasibility of this method in evaluation of kidney vasculature pattern in dogs. In this paper, visualization of the Renal, Interlobar, Arcuate, and interlobular arteries and veins using 3D color Doppler ultrasonography in dogs is shown and the techn...

With the increasing use of ultrasonography, renal incidentaloma cases have also been rising. A solid mass observed incidentally will either be malignant or benign. Of tumors, cell carcinoma (RCC) is most common. The two common benign tumors that need to differentiated from RCC are oncocytoma and angiomyolipoma. It difficult differentiate on ultrasonography. Furthermore, there difficulties disti...

A newborn infant was referred to the Department of Diagnostic Radiology, Princess Margaret Hospital, for further assessment for renal abnormalities detected by antenatal ultrasonography. Postnatal ultrasonography showed a cluster of noncommunicating cysts of varying sizes in the left renal fossa (Fig 1). The largest cyst was peripherally located. No normal renal parenchyma was detected in the l...
