Esophageal transit scintigraphy (ETS) complements anatomic imaging studies such as contrast esophagography for the evaluation of esophageal motility disorders. This noninvasive technique provides reliable and reproducible functional data that is useful in the evaluation of both primary and secondary esophageal motility disorders. This image-rich exhibit will provide an overview of this examination using representative examples of ETS studies in children, including technical considerations, imaging features in various disorders, and pitfalls in intepretation, with correlative fluoroscopic and/or CT images.

Duplicated collecting systems can be associated with vesicoureteral reflux, urinary obstruction, ureteroceles, incontinence, and renal parenchymal scarring which can result in decreased renal function, therefore, early identification by radiologists and clinicians is crucial. The purpose of this educational exhibit is to review the embryology, highlight the imaging manifestations, and discuss the clinical ramifications of duplicated renal collecting systems in the pediatric population.
