Diagnostic Testing |
State-of-the art diagnostic techniques help Children’s Urology Group identify urologic diseases and disorders in infants, children and adolescents. They also facilitate the diagnosis of problems in the fetus so that potentially life-threatening conditions can be corrected before they fully develop. To diagnose conditions, the following procedures may be used:
· Ultrasound
· X-ray
· Blood tests
· Urodynamics
· Voiding cystourethrogram
· Computerized axial tomography (CAT) scan
· MRI
· Intravenous pyelogram
· Nuclear renal scan
· Endoscopy
· Biopsy |
Children’s Urology Group provides a complete array of noninvasive, minimally invasive and surgical procedures for correcting or minimizing urologic abnormalities. Family members are given detailed explanations of the patient's condition and viable treatment options, so that informed decisions can be made. If services are required outside of the practice, they will be provided by other physicians and/or facilities that routinely provide care to children and have their interests in mind.
