BASICS OF ULTRASOUND DIAGNOSIS OF KIDNEYS AND LOWER URINARY TRACT - GREY-SCALE IMAGING (B-MODE)
- Urologická klinika FN a LF UP v Olomouci
Ultrasonography (US) is basic evaluation for imaging of anatomic structures and urinary tract morphology. US has many advantages because it is painless, noninvasive, easy available and without ionizing radiation. US provides accurate anatomic information obtained without the intravenous application of contrast agents. Development in gray-scale ultrasound technology has recently enabled the anatomy of all urological organs to be demonstrated with great detail. The image quality has greatly improved with advances of transducers and ultrasound beamformer, and sophisticated image processing in faster machines. This has resulted in an improvement of organ texture patterns and interfaces. There is basic information about renal and lower of urinary tract ultrasonography in following article.
