ABSTRACT
With technical advancements leading to ever more compact, portable, and less-expensive ultrasound units, pediatric urologists have increasingly incorporated ultrasonography into their office practices. Because it gives accurate information quickly, noninvasively, and without radiation, ultrasound has become the standard initial diagnostic evaluation of the pediatric urinary tract. Previously, we have shown the practical benefits of this modality1-3 and now update this experience. In this chapter, we show how office ultrasound advances practice in the initial evaluation and follow-up of a variety of common pediatric urology scenarios.
