Contrast enhanced voiding urosonography (CEVUS) uses intravesically administered microbubble contrast to detect vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) and urethral anomalies with ultrasound. Multiple studies have suggested CEVUS can replace voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) as a radiation free alternative. Analysis of ureterovesical junction (UVJ) and ureters on VCUG documenting UVJ position, ureteral duplication, periureteral diverticula and ureteroceles is important as anatomic variations may affect management and surgical approach. Our purpose was to assess UVJ region visualization in children with VUR detected on CEVUS. Read More
