Summary A simple non‐invasive ultrasonic technique which identifies gross vesico‐ureteric reflux (VUR) in adults is described. It is based on the time position (TP)‐mode (or M‐mode) of ultrasound imaging. This method warrants assessment as a possible screening procedure for gross VUR in newborn children. We should like to thank Professor D. R. Aickin for the use of the Diasonograph. This work was supported by a grant from the Canterbury Medical Research Foundation.
