  • Title: MR urography: technique and results for the evaluation of urinary obstruction in the pediatric population.
    Author: Grattan-Smith JD, Jones RA.
    Journal: Magn Reson Imaging Clin N Am; 2008 Nov; 16(4):643-60, viii-ix. PubMed ID: 18926428.
    Abstract:
    MR urography has the potential to revolutionize imaging of the urinary tract in both adults and children, because of its ability to provide an unprecedented level of anatomic information and quantitative functional evaluation of each kidney. MR urography can now provide useful assessment of obstructive uropathy and may provide predictive information about which children will benefit from surgery. It has the potential to identify parameters that indicate a significant obstruction as opposed to self-limited hydronephrosis. Further technical developments in the field will produce greater insights into the pathophysiology of not only urologic disorders but also disorders of the kidney itself.
