Study Notes
Ultrasound Technique for Imaging Kidneys
- Ultrasound technique SAGITTAL allows for length measurement and direct comparison of cortex to liver/spleen
- Ultrasound technique TRANSVERSE uses the same window as sagittal or coronal and provides an axial view of the collecting system
- Ultrasound technique SAGITTAL PRONE, predominantly used in pediatrics, offers an alternative lower pole acoustic window
- Scanning technique for the right kidney involves using the liver as an acoustic window and variable respiration instructions
- Scanning technique for the left kidney may be more challenging and may involve using the spleen as an acoustic window
- Ultrasound technique for PROXIMAL URETER is identical to the assessment of kidneys and involves graded compression to follow the ureter to the bladder
- Ultrasound technique for DISTAL URETER involves passing obliquely and posterior to the bladder to the vesicoureteric junction
- Scanning technique for the bladder requires a distended bladder and may involve rolling LPO/RPO to assess mobility
- Ultrasound appearances in sagittal, transverse, and coronal planes are used to recognize and describe normal ultrasound appearances
- Measurement of kidney size and bladder size is an important aspect of ultrasound imaging
- The lecture covers understanding the anatomy of the kidney, describing normal variants, explaining the technique for imaging the kidneys, and recognizing and describing the normal ultrasound appearances
- A quiz at the end of the lecture tests knowledge on the location of renal pyramids, ureter insertion, and hypertrophied column of Berthin
