| heal.abstract | BACKGROUND: Voiding urosonography with harmonic imaging (VUS HI) has been introduced as a sensitive and radiation-free imaging method for the diagnosis and follow-up of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) in children. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the sensitivity of VUS HI using a second-generation US contrast agent compared to standard voiding cystourethrography (VCUG). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 228 children with 463 kidney-ureter units (KUUs) underwent two cycles of VUS HI and two cycles of VCUG at the same session. VUS HI was performed after intravesical administration of 1 ml of a second-generation US contrast agent (sulphur-hexafluoride gas microbubbles, SonoVue, Bracco, Italy). For statistical analysis we used McNemar's test, Student's t-test and k coefficient tests. RESULTS: VUR was shown in 161/463 (34.7%) KUUs, 57 by both methods, 90 only by VUS, and 14 only by VCUG. Concordance in findings regarding the presence or absence of VUR was found in 359/463 (77.5%) KUUs (k=0.40). The difference in the detection rate of reflux between the two methods was significant (P<0.01). More importantly, reflux missed by VCUG was of higher grade (2 grade I, 65 grade II, 19 grade III, 4 grade IV) than that missed by VUS (8 grade I, 5 grade II, 1 grade III). CONCLUSION: VUS HI and a second-generation contrast agent improved the identification of reflux in children. Our data reveal a higher sensitivity of the method compared to VCUG. Thus it can be used as an alternative radiation-free imaging method. | en |
