Ultrasound examination and MCU (micturating cystourethrogram, also called Voiding Cystourethrogram) are the two imaging investigations done to pick up conditions that can indicate a future risk for kidney damage. Based on the risk assessment further investigations that may be needed include cystoscopy, nuclear scans (DMSA, DTPA, in some centres EC and MAG3 are preferred).
