Investigations for vesicoureteric reflux in children: ultrasound vs. radionuclide voiding cystography. 1985

W G Martin, and K Schneider, and O Lauer, and H Fendel, and H W Pabst

In this study, 53 children suffering from recurrent urinary tract infections were investigated both by ultrasound and direct radionuclide voiding cystography (RNVC). The findings were: Most high-grade vesicopelvic refluxes were detected by both methods consistently. Discrepant results of high-grade vesicopelvic refluxes were seen in 6 kidneys from 4 children. Main advantages of RNVC are the quick results and the ease of interpretation of these results. In RNVC the whole urinary tract can be observed during the filling phase as well as during the voiding and postvoiding phase. In sonography, the different parts of the urinary tract must be explored one after another during the filling, voiding, and postvoiding phase. The investigation by sonography is time consuming and a strongly investigator-dependent procedure.

D007223 Infant A child between 1 and 23 months of age. Infants
D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.
