To understand the development of ultrasound (US) soft- and hardware in urology: high-frequency transducer (9-18MHz), 3D image, flow image, elastography and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CE-US). To demonstrate the utility of diagnostic ultrasound in diagnosis of urologic disorders: comparison with multimodality imaging.

1, Introduction: the development of new ultrasound unit: high-frequency transducer (9-18MHz), 3D image, flow imaging, elastography and CE-US. 2, Case presentation based on the development of new ultrasound unit 1) High-frequency transducer (9-18MHz): Complicated renal cyst, Renal pelvic tumor, Ureteral cancer, Undescended testis and Testicular torsion. 2) 3D image: Bladder cancer 3) Flow image: Renal artery stenosis, Renal AVM, Renal aneurysm and High flow priapism 4) Elastography: Renal cell carcinoma, Angiomyolipoma and Testicular tumor, 5) CE-US: Renal cell carcinoma, Angiomyolipoma and Testicular torsion 3, Discussion 4, Summary
