INTRODUCTION In 1999, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommended perform a renal ultrasonography and avoiding cystourethrography to all infants between 2 and 24 months of age after their first urinary tract infection (UTI). In 2011, the AAP restricted voiding cystourethrography to children with a pathological ultrasonography, recurrent and/ or atypical infections. Our objective was to...

PURPOSE We evaluated the safety and accuracy of ultrasonography-guided percutaneous core biopsy collection in patients with renal masses. MATERIALS AND METHODS From June 2008 to August 2012, 30 percutaneous core biopsies of renal masses were performed. The biopsies obtained were small tumors (<4 cm) with ambiguous radiologic findings or that met classic renal biopsy indications. The biopsy re...

Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most important pediatric health problems, which is occasionally associated with irreversible renal damage. Dimercapto-succinic acid (DMSA) scan is a diagnostic standard for the renal scar. Doppler ultrasonography (D.S) has been considered as a less invasive method. The purpose of this study was to determine the sensitivity and specificity ...

AIM The objective of the study was to obtain and compare two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) ultrasonographic images of the kidney in different disease conditions. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, 11 clinical cases of different age groups of dogs suffering from kidney diseases were diagnosed by 2D and 3D ultrasonography at Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex, Lala Lajpat Rai ...

OBJECTIVES To assess the prevalence of renal abnormalities in ragdoll cats. Ragdoll breeders often warn clients to watch for future renal problems, mainly due to chronic interstitial nephritis and polycystic kidney disease. Therefore, ragdoll screening by abdominal ultrasonography, measurement of serum creatinine and urea concentrations and genetic testing is often performed without documented ...

A 2.5-year-old boy with a history of the previous incidental finding of an ectopic kidney in ultrasonography was referred to our nuclear medicine center for 99mTc-DMSA renal scintigraphy. The scan showed an unusual type of ectopic fused kidneys on the right side of the lower abdomen. In this anomaly, kidneys were fused completely across the medial portion of both upper and lower pole...

INTRODUCTION The present study was carried out to compare the efficacy of transabdominal ultrasonography and intravenous urography in the diagnosis of bladder carcinoma in those patients presenting painless hematuria. MATERIALS AND METHODS Medical records of 100 patients who had both ultrasonography and intravenous urography were studied. The reported findings of these investigations were cor...
