Ultrasound assessment of renal cortical brightness in infants: is naked eye evaluation reliable?

A C Lamont et al. Invest Radiol. 1990 Mar.

Abstract

Twenty observers estimated renal cortical brightness compared with the liver in 28 ultrasound images. Their judgment was compared with objective densitometer readings. High inter- and intra-observer variation was found. Estimates of brightness of ultrasound images by eye alone should be interpreted with care.
