Ultrasound (US) of the kidneys is one of the most frequently performed imaging examination in the pediatric population. Conventionally, curvilinear probes (6-10MHz) are used for initial assessment. Liner high-resolution probes (HRP) (>15MHz) have been reported to improve the visualization of renal pyramid pathology. At our institution, we have implemented the use of HRP (15 or 18MHz) in addition to the lower-resolution probes (LRP) to the renal US protocol. This is a study to investigate whether the routine utilization of HRP can increase the detection and confidence in the diagnosis of nephrocalcinosis. Read More
