Ultrasound scanning of the kidneys in four children with radiologically proven hydronephrosis was undertaken with a new modification: scanning before and after copious intake of fluid. The anteroposterior diameter of the renal pelvis was used as an index of the hydronephrosis. Alterations in the dilatation were followed over a long period. Good agreement with simultaneous IVP was found. Improvement in the degree of hydronephrosis was apparent by reduction and disappearance of the dilatation of the pelvis during fasting as assessed by ultrasonic scanning, although pronounced dilatation was still observed after copious intake of fluid and at IVP. The results indicate that ultrasound scanning is a valuable supplement in the urological evaluation in children and that it can reduce significantly the number of radiological investigations required.
对四名经放射学证实患有肾积水的儿童进行了肾脏超声扫描，采用了一种新的改进方法：在大量饮水前后进行扫描。肾盂的前后径被用作肾积水的指标。长期跟踪扩张情况的变化。发现与同时进行的静脉肾盂造影结果吻合良好。通过超声扫描评估，禁食期间肾盂扩张的减轻和消失表明肾积水程度有所改善，尽管大量饮水后以及静脉肾盂造影时仍观察到明显扩张。结果表明，超声扫描在儿童泌尿外科评估中是一种有价值的辅助手段，并且可以显著减少所需的放射学检查数量。
