To assess the efficacy of ultrasonography (USG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosing a particular urologic disease, autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD).
A patient with a case of ARPKD, as diagnosed by USG and MRI.
USG revealed features typical of ARPKD; the kidneys were enlarged and echogenic, with a loss of normal renal architecture. MRI revealed anatomical features similar to those demonstrated by USG. Furthermore, MRI showed clearer delineation and tissue specificity of the affected kidneys.
USG and MRI were useful in diagnosing ARPKD. MRI can serve as an adjunctive method for diagnosing certain fetal anomalies.
评估超声检查（USG）和磁共振成像（MRI）在诊断一种特定的泌尿系统疾病——常染色体隐性多囊肾病（ARPKD）中的疗效。
一名经USG和MRI诊断为ARPKD的患者。
USG显示出ARPKD的典型特征；肾脏增大且回声增强，正常肾结构消失。MRI显示出与USG所示相似的解剖特征。此外，MRI对受累肾脏的显示更清晰，且具有组织特异性。
USG和MRI在诊断ARPKD方面均有用。MRI可作为诊断某些胎儿异常的辅助方法。
