Ultrasound contrast cystography with contrast enhanced software in the diagnosis of vesicoureteral reflux

Ultrasound contrast cystography has become a routine method in the diagnosis of vesicoureteral reflux in children due to the development of contrast-specific software technology and the introduction of second generation ultrasound contrast. Many studies have shown that this method is more sensitive than voiding cystourethrography but the most important advantage is the lack of use of ionizing radiation. In recent years there is higher awareness of the potential harmful effects of exposure to ionizing radiation in certain diagnostic imaging procedures in children. This article explains characteristics of ultrasound contrast cystography and analyzes the advantages and disadvantages compared to other diagnostic methods used in the diagnosis of vesicoureteral reflux.
