Postnatal Imaging of Antenatal Hydronephrosis

Postnatal Imaging of Antenatal Hydronephrosis

Radiologic imaging of the newborn detected prenatally with hydronephrosis should follow a systematic approach. Upper and lower urinary tract imaging should be performed in most cases in order to determine the etiology and gauge the use of future imaging. An overview of renal ultrasound, voiding cyst...
