Assessing renal function in children with hydronephrosis - additional feature of MR urography.

Background: Magnetic resonance urography (MRU) is one of the most attractive imaging modalities in paediatric urology, providing largest diagnostic information in a single protocol. Therefore, the aim of our study was to assess the diagnostic value of MRU in children with urogenital anomalies (especially anomalies of the renal pelvis and ureter) and the renal function using different post-processing functional software.

Patients And Methods: Ninety six children (7 days - 18 years old) were examined.
