    Citation Excerpt :

    The author group then concluded that the new technique can be useful as a follow-up study for the patient with previously documented VUR or as a primary study for sibling screening [16]. Similarly, Kaneko et al. (1994) reported a case of a 16-month-old girl whose reflux in the dilated renal pelvis was seen using sonicated albumin-enhanced US, which was equivalent to a VCUG diagnosis of grade 4 reflux [17]. Thereafter, several groups began comparing the diagnostic accuracy of contrast-enhanced US with standard VCUG and radionuclide cystogram, while commercialized contrast media has become available for use in clinical settings.
