A comparison of gray scale ultrasonography and computerized axial tomography in adults with known adult-type polycystic disease and of ultrasonography and high-dose nephrotomography in their progeny is being conducted. Although all three modalities have proved capable of demonstrating cysts of the kidney and liver, ultrasound has been the most consistent in identifying these lesions. Ultrasound is valuable in diagnosing polycystic disease in adult with large, poorly functioning kidneys; in addition, since cysts could be identified by ultrasound in children who had normal nephrotograms, it provides a safe and useful method of obtaining information for genetic counseling.
