SUMMARY
Bilateral renal abnormalities in a fetus with Beckwith‐Wiedemann Syndrome were detected ultrasonically. These were confirmed and monitored postnatally by serial studies. The initial and progressive ultrasonic appearance of the kidneys is described. Ultrasound is recommended as the means of determining anatomy and detecting renal complications in these patients. It is also of value in genetic counselling.
SUMMARY
A commercially available high resolution real time sector scanner was clinically evaluated over a 6 month period in a teaching hospital. The instrument was found to be suitable as a “stand alone” scanner for most small parts applications. Studies performed on this scanner complemented compound water path ultrasonic investigation of the breast and testes. The advantages and limitations of scanning with this type of instrument are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
