    Abstract

    This chapter addresses the diagnostic and therapeutic urologic applications of ultrasound during pregnancy including assessment of hydronephrosis and renal colic, ultrasound-guided endoscopic procedures. 2D ultrasound is generally considered the safest and the first radiologic modality for the evaluation of hydronephrosis during pregnancy. Although MRI is considered safe during pregnancy, its sensitivity for stone diagnosis is low.
