Visualization and evaluation of the distal ureter and ureterovesical junction on contrast-enhanced voiding urosonography

Authors: Jeanne S. Chow, Halley J. Park, Harriet J. Paltiel

Published in: Pediatric Radiology | Issue 8/2021

Excerpt

One of the pitfalls of contrast-enhanced voiding urosonography (ceVUS) is the difficulty in evaluating the ureterovesical junction (UVJ). In this issue of Pediatric Radiology, Benya and colleagues [1] discuss their experience with this important challenge. We thank the authors for pointing out this important potential weakness. Knowing our blind spots allows us to look harder or differently in the future. …
