There is ongoing effort to find new and more user friendly techniques in the work up of children after urinary tract infection. In this rewiev article it is shown that regardless which approach in the management of children after UTI one believes is more appropriate, it is obvious that both protocols can be sufficiently fulfilled by the use of US techniques.

Ureteric jet Doppler waveform is a new catheter-free technique for VUR detection. It was shown that a biphasic approach would be recommended in children with normal US findings in whom we wish to exclude or confirm VUR. First, children should be screened for VUR by detection of a UJDW sequence, and only those suggestive of VUR should be investigated further. We believe that the quality of this method in screening for VUR seemed to be high enough to spare a considerable number of children one of the invasive micturating cystographies.
