To demonstrate the utility of fMRU to accurately detect the insertion site of extravesical ectopic ureters (EEUs) in children and evaluate the function of associated moieties.

Procedure: A. f MRU performance: 1. Post-contrast sequences 2. Contrast administration 3. Post-contrast sequences 4. Post-processing B. Extravesical ectopic ureters: insertion sites 1. In girls: urethra vagina vestibule uterus fallopian tube Gartner‘s duct rectum 2. In boys: prostatic urethra ejaculatory duct seminal vesicle vas deferens rectum C. fMRU diagnostic value: 1. Anatomical details duplex systems ureteric course ureteric [ectopic] insertion 2. Functional information poorly/non-functioning moieties renal bud [dysmorphic] 3. Early diagnosis of ureteral ectopia in the majority of patients to infancy, prior to development of clinical symptoms.
