[Renal pathology and ultrasounds (author's transl)]

In our present work we inttend to apply the ultrasounds to the field of child nephrology, by using the Vidoson 635 model. The advantages brought about by this new diagnostic method, which does not exclude others, lyes in its tridimensional vision, of easy handling, the fact of not requiring previous preparation of the patient and very little risk. In this work we present images of normal kidneys, renal agenesia, renal hypoplasia, hydronephrosis, hydrocalcinosis, cystic disease and nephroblastoma, emphasizing its use in the differential diagnosis of liquid and solid renal mass.
