Abstract
Diagnostic reliability of ultrasonic scanning in urology is evaluated in the light of 10 years' experience. This recent, non-invasive, diagnostic method, in association with the traditional investigation procedures, is regarded as reliable and harmless, as illustrated by published results and the author's own observations.
