Imaging of Congenital and Developmental Anomalies of Kidney and Urinary Tract, Including Obstructive Uropathy
摘要
Imaging is a critical component in the diagnosis of congenital and developmental anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract. Many abnormalities, including obstructive uropathy, are now routinely detected antenatally. In postnatal imaging, there continue to be advances aimed at improving diagnostic accuracy while decreasing ionizing radiation exposure in children. In this chapter, we will review the imaging of developmental anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract with a brief overview of pathophysiology, epidemiology, and clinical manifestations of each disorder.
