METHODS AND MEANING OF RENAL VOLUME AND SHAPE IN CHILDREN EMPHASIS ON THREE-DIMENSIONAL ULTRASOUND
Abstract
Background. The changes in size and shape of kidneys are an important sign of kidney disease. There is constant development in methods and modalities used for determination of renal size and shape. Ultrasonography is a safe not invasive imaging modality. In recent years ultrasonography has tried to replace scintigraphy as a gold standard for determination of kidney function and size at the moment.
Conclusions. With the development of three-dimensional ultrasound, ultrasonography get a new advantage in imaging of kidneys.
