MAGNETIC RESONANCE UROGRAPHY: A NEW GOLD STANDARD FOR THE EVALUATION OF SOLITARY KIDNEYS AND RENAL BUDS?

Abstract

The diagnostic value of MRU appears to be superior to that of other imaging tests, even to that of DMSA scintigraphy, which with voiding cystourethrography is currently considered the gold standard for evaluating sonographically suspected solitary kidneys with contralateral orthotopic or ectopic renal buds and ectopic ureteral insertion.
