Abstract

Renal ultrasonography (US) is a fundamental tool in the armamentarium of the pediatric surgeon and urologist. Renal ultrasound should routinely include evaluation of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder, both pre- and post-micturition. Doppler imaging adds valuable information about vasculature. US defines unusual renal anatomy and has a critical role in the evaluation of hydronephrosis and hydroureter. It is the initial imaging study in the evaluation of abdominal masses. It serves a valuable role in postinjury evaluation of the renal trauma patient and is a cornerstone of evaluation of the renal transplant patient. US contributes functional information to the evaluation of urolithiasis.
