Abstract

The use of ultrasound for the diagnosis of urologic neoplasms in simple and accurate. Nowadays nephrologists and urologists advocate the use of ultrasound and the procedure now plays a complementary role of the clinical examination. We present a retrospective study regarding our experience with ultrasonography in the diagnosis of urologic problems. In the period february 95-february 96 we performed 672 ultrasound examination on children ranging in age from 30 days to 16 years. All examinations were performed using a 3.5-5 MHz real time convex scanner. The patients were examined in the supine position for imaging of the bladder and in the prone position for imaging of the kidneys. We report 3 cases of neoplasm of the genito-urinary tract screened with the use of ultrasounds in a selected paediatric population.
