Abstract:
There are various imaging modalities available for the diagnosis of vesicoureterorenal reflux. In childhood, it is important to use the gentlest diagnostic technique available. Contrast-enhanced voiding urosonography (ceVUS) allows for dynamic imaging of the urinary tract without exposure to ionising radiation. ceVUS is characterised by its high sensitivity and diagnostic accuracy for the evaluation of reflux. This manuscript presents the procedure in detail and provides information about the advantages of this modality.
