Implication

Prospective study demonstrates strong correlation between ultrasound and urography for renal volume in children, indicating a reliable noninvasive tool for tracking growth.

Key Points

Evaluate the accuracy and practicality of B-mode ultrasonography with manual planimetry for measuring pediatric renal length and volume.
Prospectively evaluated 11 children who underwent concurrent B-mode ultrasonography and excretory urography.
Calculated renal length and volume using manual planimetric measurements from sonographic scans.
Sonographic renal volume correlated strongly with urographic renal volume (r = 0.89).
Sonographic renal length correlated with urographic renal length at r = 0.78.
