  Introduction: 30-50% of children presenting with urinary tract infection (UTI) as well as 8-38% of children diagnosed with antenatal hydronephrosis (ANH) have vesicoureteric reflux (VUR). The standard technique for the diagnosis of VUR is voiding urethrocystrogaphy (VCUG); however, it is associated with ionizing radiation. Contrast-enhanced voiding ultrasonography (ceVUS) is an alternative, radiation-free method with sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of VUR comparable with VCUG respectively, and with the ability to depict the structure of the urethra. Aim: The aim of this article is to present our experience with ceVUS and to discuss its clinical indications in the context of the actual guidelines for the management of UTI in children and ANH.
