Abstract

Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a common pediatric problem. Its late consequences may cause hypertension and renal failure, so that early diagnosis is important. Micturition cystourography (MCU) or radionuclide cystography (RNC) is the imaging of choice but these technics expose the children 10 radiation. Cystosonography with echocontrast is a new imaging
technic lor detecting VUA without exposing the children to radiation. The aim of this article is to review this technic and to show our early experiences with this new method in the Pediatric Radiology Department of Borsod County Teaching Hospital, Miskolc, Hungary.
