Correlation between Doppler sonography and diuretic renogram in the diagnosis and follow-up of infants with unilateral pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction

Abstract Background Conventionally, diuretic isotope renogram is used to establish and quantify severity of the obstruction in pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction. Doppler ultrasonography too assesses obstruction by evaluating the resistive index (RI) and resistive index ratio (RIR) in the intrarena...
