Comparison of Contrast-Enhanced Voiding Urosonography with Standard Fluoroscopic Voiding Cystography for the Diagnosis of Vesicoureteral Reflux: A single-Institute of Children

Contrast-enhanced voiding urosonography (ce-VUS) is widely used in Europe to diagnose vesicoureteric reflux (VUR) in children. It is highly sensitive and avoids exposure to ionizing radiation. We compared the sensitivity and specificity of ce-VUS to those of VCUG performed on patients in Saudi Arabi...

Zusammenfassung:Contrast-enhanced voiding urosonography (ce-VUS) is widely used in Europe to diagnose vesicoureteric reflux (VUR) in children. It is highly sensitive and avoids exposure to ionizing radiation. We compared the sensitivity and specificity of ce-VUS to those of VCUG performed on patients in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East to emphasize the agreement between the two modalities in detecting VUR in children with urinary tract infections (UTIs).
