摘要: The voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) is a widely used study to define lower urinary tract anatomy and diagnose vesicoureteric reflux (VUR) in children. We examine the technical advances VCUG other examinations for that have reduced radiation exposure of children, we give recommendations use imaging studies four groups children: (1) children with infection, (2) siblings patients VUR, (3) infants antenatal hydronephrosis (ANH), (4) solitary functioning kidney. By performing little no radiation, carefully selecting only who need judiciously timing follow-up examinations, can reduce being studied reflux.
