This document describes retrograde pyelography, a medical imaging procedure used to visualize the kidneys and ureters. It begins by introducing retrograde pyelography and its indications. These include evaluating the kidneys when normal visualization is not possible on other exams or when investigating hematuria, filling defects, or ureteral fistulas. The document then discusses patient preparation, anesthesia used, technique, required films, complications, and compares retrograde pyelography to other imaging modalities like MRI uretherography and CT urethrography. In summary, retrograde pyelography involves injecting contrast through ureters under fluoroscopy to visualize the pelvicalyceal system and evaluate various conditions of

Ivu is a radiological investigation for visualization and assessment of the urinary tract.This presentation covers brief anatomy of urinary tract, indication and contraindication,contrast media dose and administration, routine and modified ivu procedure,its complication,ctivu and some abnormalities in the urinary tract.
Venography is a radiological procedure for the evaluation of the veins by the help of intravenous radiological contrast media. It is also known as phlebography. Contrast venography is the gold standard for judging diagnostic imaging methods for deep venous thrombosis; although, because of its cost, invasiveness, the increased sensitivity of sonography to demonstrate pathology and other limitations this test is rarely performed.

EVALUATION OF FETAL ANATOMY IN FIRST TRIMESTER .
FETAL DEVELOPMENT IN FIRST YAER.
NORMAL ULTRASOUND FINDINGS IN THE FIRST TRIMESTER.Evaluation of fetal anatomy, including a detailed fetal cardiac examination, is possible in the late first trimester.
Many anatomic abnormalities can be detected in the first trimester, giving families time to make important decisions regarding pregnancy management and the opportunity for early termination of pregnancy to reduce maternal morbidity risks.Week 6: By the 6th week, the limb buds begin to differentiate into upper and lower limbs with large hand plates, which develop primordial digits. The lower extremities lag behind the upper limbs by approximately 4 to 5 days. The primordial ear develops and the eyes become obvious as the retina becomes pigmented. The fetal liver occupies the majority of the abdominal cavity at the 6th week. As the rapid growth of the intestines exceeds the growth of the abdominal cavity the physiologic herniation of the intestines into the umbilical cord occurs. Spontaneous twitching movements and reflex responses to touch begin to take place.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. INTRODUCTION
• It is the roentgenographic demonstration of the renal pelvis and
ureter by the retrograde injection of radio-opaque material through
the ureters.
3. INDICATIONS
• 1. Absent or unsatisfactory visualisation of the collecting system on IVU.
2. Unexplained hematuria, when the ureters have not been completely
visualised by IVU.
3. Evaluating persistent intraureteral or intrapelvic filling defects on
IVU.
4. Demonstrating the exact site of ureteral fistula.
5. Brushing and/or biopsy of suspected lesions.
6. Evaluating the collecting system in patients who cannot receive
intravenous contrast medium.
4. CONTRAINDICATION
• Acute urinary tract infection
• Recent instrumentation like cystoscopy or other transurethral endoscopy- the
small mucosal laceration may lead to contrast extravasation into the corpus
spongiosum thus leading to septic infection.
• Pregnancy
5. CONTRAST MEDIA
• Ionic contrast media can be used safely, however if there is any
specific contraindication like known hypersensitivity etc., Non ionic
contrast media may be used.
• The Ionic contrast media is preferred
due to its low cost.
• The strength of contrast media should be
150-200 mg I/ml.
• Contrast media should not be too dense as it will obscure small
lesions in the ureters and the pelvis.
6. PROCEDURE
• Patient Preparation
• Bowel preparation with cathartics is not routinely performed.
Preliminary Film
• Full length supine AP abdomen before the examination is started.
Anaesthesia
• May be performed under local anaesthesia although general
anesthesia is often required. Sterile precautions are mandatory
7. TECHNIQUE
• In the Operation theatre:
• The surgeon catheterizes the ureter via a cystoscope and advances the ureteric catheter to the
desired level. Contrast medium is injected under fluoroscopic control and spot films are exposed.
In the X-Ray Department
• With ureteric catheter(s) in situ, the patient is transferred from the operation theatre to the
X-ray department if necessary.
• Urine is aspirated and under fluoroscopic control.
• Contrast medium is slowly injected. About 3-5 ml is usually enough to fill the pelvis
but the injection should be terminated before this if the patient complains of pain or fullness in
the loin.
8. FILMS
• Using the undercouch tube
(a) Supine PA film of the kidney
(b) Both 35° anterior obliques of the kidneys. Low kVp (65-75 kVp) technique is
used to visualise calculi and contrast medium.
(c) If there is pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction, the contrast medium in the pelvis
is aspirated. The films are examined and if satisfactory, the catheter is withdrawn,
first to 10 cm below the renal pelvis and then to lie above the ureteric orifice. About
2ml of contrast medium is injected at each of these levels and films taken.

10. • AFTER CARE
1. Post anesthetic observation.
2. Prophylactic antibiotics may be used
11. COMPLICATIONS
• 1. Due to anaesthesia
• Complications of general anaesthesia.
2. Due to the contrast medium
• Contrast medium can be absorbed from the renal pelvis, giving rise to adverse
reactions. However, the risks are much less than with excretory urography
• Chemical pyelitis-if there is stasis of contrast medium.
• Extravasation due to overdistension of the pelvis.
12. • 3. Due to technique
• Introduction of infection
• Mucosal damage to the ureter
• Perforation of the ureter or pelvis by the catheter
13. COMPARISON OF MRMCU AND RGU
WITH NEWER MODALITIES
• Advantages of MR - MCU and RGU
1. These studies are most valuable to detect congenital anomalies, posterior urethral
injuries, and with urethral and periurethral tumours.
2. It is a better imaging modality for assessing the post traumatic pelvic anatomy &
non-invasive method for measuring stricture length.
3. It clearly shows the extent of scar tissue as well as prostatic displacement.
4. MR uretherography is more accurate in estimating the length of obliterative
urethral stricture than RGU combined with Voiding cystouretherography
14. Limitations of conventional RGU combined with
voiding cystouretherography:
• 1. It does not provide accurate length of the defect because of poor
prostatic urethral filling.
2. It does not provide information regarding extent of fbrosis of
corpora spongiosa or prostatic displacement.
3. The stricture length is overestimated if bladder neck does not
relax.
15. Advantages of CT urethrography
• 1. C.T. voiding uretherography is more comfortable to the patient
because it requires adaptation only in one position.
2. Less time consuming; takes only few seconds
3. Comparison of lual size & stricture length for follow up is
possible.
4. Extraluinal pathology can be detected
5. Good patient compliance
6. Ability to survey whole urinary tract from kidney to urethra.
17. URETERAL
STENOSIS
Two views of the retrograde pyelography
