Abstract
Ultrasound is the imaging modality of choice for assessment of the urinary tract in children, particularly in the workup of hydronephrosis, urinary tract infection, kidney masses, and bladder abnormalities. Other important applications include the evaluation of stone disease, kidney failure, renovascular disease, and kidney transplants. This chapter reviews the development and anatomy of the urinary tract followed by an overview of ultrasound imaging features of urinary tract disorders in children. Brief discussions of clinical presentation and treatment approach are also included.
