Abstract
Ultrasound is an integral tool in the contemporary assessment of urinary tract obstruction. Pulsed and color Doppler have eliminated many previous false-positives due to blood vessels or non-obstructive hydronephrosis. Limitations of the ultrasound technique still exist and on occasion necessitate the utilization of intravenous urography.
