Standardization of pediatric uroradiological terms: a multidisciplinary European glossary

Pierre-Hugues Vivier et al. Pediatr Radiol. 2018 Feb.

Abstract

To promote the standardization of nephro-uroradiological terms used in children, the European Society of Paediatric Radiology uroradiology taskforce wrote a detailed glossary. This work has been subsequently submitted to European experts in pediatric urology and nephrology for discussion and acceptance to improve the quality of radiological reports and communication between different clinicians involved in pediatric urology and nephrology.

Keywords: Glossary; Imaging; Nephrology; Pediatrics; Radiology; Standardization; Urology.
