1.limited tissue penetration
2.limited fields of view
3.difficulty imaging obese or
heavier muscles
4. patients
5.limited functional
informationa
6.inability to image certain
structures as lung and bowel
The Kidney
In kidney ultrasound we notice the
1. Size
2. Thickness
3. perirenal space
4. Contour
5. parenchyma
Normal
• The normal adult renal length, measured by
ultrasound, is 9–12 cm
• the kidneys should be smooth in outline
• The parenchyma surrounds a central echodense
region (the renal sinus) consisting of the
pelvicaliceal system
• There may be a difference between the two
kidneys, normally of less than 1.5 cm.
normal view
the first one is coronal view ,we can see
the left kidney and the renal
parenchyma which consists of cortex
the outer region and the middle on the
inner hyperechoic region but in this
image it isn t very clear the middle loss
and we have the hyperechoic region
which is the renal sinus fat because it
has fat getting more dense and it is
appear hyperechoic and below we can
see the renal pelvis but we can not see
the ureter because normally we don t
really see the ureter
In the longitudinal view we have the
right kidney and the liver above that
and we can appreciate the kidney, it has
the outer cortex and renal sinus
Which are very well visualized in this
picture
The transverse view it
is across sectional
image of the kidney
The right image we
can see more clearly,
we have the cortex
and renal sinus very
well visualized also
we can see the renal
pyramids and renal
pelvis
Renal
echogenicity
Now we study the
creating of cortical
echogenicity now the
norma one will always
be the renal
echogenicity that will be
less than the liver
echogenicity as we can
see here the cortex is
hypoechoic as
compared to the liver In
the right side this grade
one echogenicity we can
see the liver
parenchyma and the
cortex of the kidney
have similar
echogenicity, they are
matching
In grade 2
echogenicit
y, the renal
echogenicit
y is more
than the
liver
In renal failure the
kidney is very
hyperechoic and it
is also reduced in
size, this one we
can see almost six
centimeters only
whereas the normal
size rang is above
nine centimeters
Kidney stones
Longitudinal view of
the renal stone, you
can see there is a
stone lgdged in the
kidney and it has
shadowing, it is
followed by stream
of dark regions and
this is the whole
kidney and we have a
shadowing behind
the hyperechoic
stone
Another image
of transverse
view
Hyperechoic
strong followed
by a dark area of
acoustic
shadowing
always behind
the stone
Transverse view ,
Staghorn caculi
are larg calculi
which involve the
renal pelvis and at
least two calluses
of the kidney, this
has heavier
shadowing
In the longitudinal
view we can not
appreciate as well
as in the
longitudinal view,
we can see multiple
stones which is
involving a much
larger region as a
compared to the
solitary stone we
saw earlier and we
can see one acoustic
shadow
Nephrocalcinosis is
a condition in
which calcium
deposited in the
renal parenchyma,
most common
locations is the
middle and we can
see the hyperechoic
region, these are
the calcium
deposits through
medullry regions
The density of the
calcification is more
in this image ,that's
why it lead to
shadowing posterior
acoustic Shadowing is
another one over
here and this one is
also in the medullry
region, it has
occupied the
medullry pyramids
Infection&inflammation
The pyelonephritis
may cause abnormal
echogenicity in the
kidney, the regions
that are hyperechoic
they are due to
hemorrhage and the
regions that are
hypoechoic they are
due to edema
The transverse
view of
pyelonephritis
show us the
hyperechoic area
and some
hypoechoic area it
is overall
heterogeneous
appearance
Another
longitudinal
view of
pyelonephritis,
which hoses the
medulla as well
very clearly and
we can see the
abnormal
echogenicity the
hyperechoic
region
Chronic kidney
disease also
causes increased
echogenicity of the
kidney along with
some poor
visualization of
structures such as
medullry
pyramids We don't
see them very
clearly in these
images
The renal
pelvis is
diallted but
the renal
calluses are
not diallted
In the grade 2
hydronephros
is both the
renal pelvis
and calluses
are diallted
In grade 3
hydronephrosis
the renal pelvis
and calluses are
diallted but to a
greater degree as
compared to grade
2 hydronephrosis
and we also can
see some cortical
thinning
Grade 4
hydronephrosis
show very large
degree of dilation
evolving the entire
kidney and there
is higher amount
higher degree of
cortical thining
and it is lead to
renal atrophy
Tumors
cystic
Simple renal
cyst dislocated
in this region we
can see it very
round and it will
have posterior
acoustic
enhancement,
Another appearance of
the longitudinal view it
is more detailed we can
see this is in the upper
pole of the kidney
Ther is again the
acoustic enhancement
which is behind the cyst
it will be hyperechoic
region because more
ultrasound rays are
passing through the
cysts so it give
enhancement
In polycystic kidney
disease we have multiple
cysts around anechoic
structures with
posterior acoustic
enhancement there will
be multiple of them
,there is one in the
cortex and we can see in
the transverse field the
renal parenchyma, most
of them are in the near
renal sinus or the
medullry region and
there will be more than
one
It is an inherted disorder
A longitudinal
view of the right
kidney
There are
multiple cysts
againe with
posterior
acoustic
enhancement
and anechoic
round
structures
Tumors
Solid
Angiomyolipom
a is a beingne
renal tumer
which consists
of vascular
smooth muscle
and fat tissue it
usually around
mass which is
somewhat
hyperechoic
Another
longitudinal view
of the kidney,
showing
angiomyolipoma
here we can see
the rounded
hyperquak mass
in the lower pole
of kidney
Wilm's tumor
is a rare kidney
tumor that
occurs in the
children, and
we can see a
large
heterogeneous
mass located in
the upper pole
of the kidney
Renal cell
carcinoma is a
malignant
condition of the
kidney, we can
also see
heterogeneous
mass in the lower
pole of the right
kidney in the
longitudinal view
Congenital
anomalies
Crossed fused ectopia
Crossed fused ectopia
is a condition in
which both kidneys
are found fused
together, here we can
see the tow separate
renal sinuses and
also groove here that
separate both
kidneys and this is on
the left side ,In the
right side in this case
will be empty it will
not have any kidneys
Normal Crossed fused ectopia
horseshoe-kidney
Multicystic
dysplastic
kidney
renal agenesis
Kidney
Trauma
In the renal
trauma, the
hypoechoic and
heterogeneous
areas are due to
the hemorrhage
and hematoma
Hematoma
Hyperechoic
area
The
Ureter
Normally the ureter not
seen in the ultrasound but
it seen if there is dilation
because of stones or
stricture or obstruction
In this image we
see the proximal
ureter that is
somewhat dialted
because of the
presence of a
stone and it
causing dilation of
the renal pelvis as
well in the grade 1
hydronephrosis
urinary
bladder
Normal
• The urinary bladder should be examined in
the distended state
• the walls should be sharply deined and barely
perceptible
• The bladder may also be assessed following
micturition, to measure the post micturition
residual volume of urine.
Longitudinal
view of the
normal

bladder and
in the right
the
transverse
view
Normal view of the fullness bladder
Bladder
stones
A stone in
the bladder
with
posterior
shadowing,
the stone
appears
hyperechoic
Infection&inflammation
Cystitis is
inflammation
of the bladder
and we can
notice that the
thickness of
the bladder is
more than five
millimeters
Cystits
Acute cystitis chronic cystitis
BLADDER
Tumors
Bladder cancer
usually called
traditional cell
carcinoma
appears as
rounded
metrogenous or
round
hypoechoic mass
orginted from
the wall of the
bladder

Micky mouse sign
Trauma
Normal hematoma
Prostate
• Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)can show the overall size of
the prostate and can diagnose relatively small masses
within its substance
• ultrasound cannot distinguish benign from benign
malignant disease when conined to the prostate,except
on the basis that masses in the peripheral zone are likely
to be malignant and those in the central zone are more
likely to beign.
• Transrectal ultrasoundguided biopsy is used extensivel for
the diagnosis of prostatic carcinoma
