Abstract
Forty-seven infants and children had excretory urography, ultrasound, and computed tomography with the renal and perirenal areas as the primary regions of interest. Ultrasound is an excellent screening procedure and is often diagnostic especially in renal cystic disease. Computed tomography best demonstrated the extent of renal injury and best delineated the geography, character, and extent of solid renal and perirenal neoplasms (screened by ultrasound). Excretory urography in these patients was at times incorrect, often underestimated the extent of the pathologic process, and is often unnecessary.
