Wilms\u2019 tumour or nephroblastoma is the most common renal malignancy encountered in the paediatric population. Imaging findings are of great importance to the surgeon, the oncologist and the radiologist in the diagnosis and the staging and surveillance of this tumour. Material and Methods. This study was carried out as a 10-year retrospective study of patients who were diagnosed with Wilms\u2019 tumour. Results. The study included 12 boys and 11 girls. Ultrasound and computed tomography were performed in all cases. Ultrasonography was found to be superior to the CT examination when approximating the antero-posterior and transverse diameters; the computer-tomographic examination is cited as superior for estimating the invasion of nephroblastomas. Conclusions: Ultrasound has been shown to be effective in detecting the rupture of the renal capsule, tumour calcifications and invasion of the renal vein, pelvis and ureter. However, ultrasound cannot replace CT in the detection of lymphadenopathy and the invasion of adjacent organs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/children9081252","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,21]],"date-time":"2022-08-21T21:05:51Z","timestamp":1661115951000},"page":"1252","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Role of Ultrasonography in the Diagnosis of Wilms\u2019 Tumour"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Radu Ninel","family":"B\u0103l\u0103nescu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"\u201cGrigore Alexandrescu\u201d Clinical Emergency Hospital for Children, 011743 Bucharest, Romania"},{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery and Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, \u201cCarol Davila\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 020021 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexandru Emil","family":"B\u0103etu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"\u201cGrigore Alexandrescu\u201d Clinical Emergency Hospital for Children, 011743 Bucharest, Romania"},{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery and Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, \u201cCarol Davila\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 020021 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andreea Alecsandra","family":"Moga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"\u201cGrigore Alexandrescu\u201d Clinical Emergency Hospital for Children, 011743 Bucharest, Romania"},{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery and Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, \u201cCarol Davila\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 020021 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"B\u0103l\u0103nescu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"\u201cGrigore Alexandrescu\u201d Clinical Emergency Hospital for Children, 011743 Bucharest, Romania"},{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery and Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, \u201cCarol Davila\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 020021 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"449","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-3016.2010.01133.x","article-title":"Wilms\u2019 tumour: A systematic review of risk factors and meta-analysis","volume":"24","author":"Chu","year":"2010","journal-title":"Paediatr.
