Abstract: | Evaluation for possible obstruction of the upper urinary tract with ultrasound can be complicated by pitfalls. Representative
examples of pitfalls are reviewed and illustrated in this essay. Since both overdiagnosis and underdiagnosis of urinary obstruction
can lead to grave consequences, one must be aware of these pitfalls when performing and interpreting renal ultrasound studies. |
