In the center is the hyperechoic renal pelvis, which is brighter due to the fat. The operator is fanning through the kidney to give a full view. Also visible are rib shadows, spleen, and some bowel gas. The operator is carefully adjusting the angle of the transducer to maximize the window between the ribs. Play Video +++ Short axis of kidney ++ Vedio Graphic Jump Location Video 12-02: Normal kidney transverse image The operator has now rotated 90 degrees to demonstrate the kidney in the short axis. The operator then fans superior to inferior to evaluate the kidney from top to bottom. In this normal kidney the vasculature can be seen entering the renal pelvis as well as the spleen, aorta, rib shadows, and bowel gas. The operator is carefully adjusting the angle of the transducer to maximize the window between the ribs.

This video demonstrates that the color has been set to detect low flow states. With this setting engaged, the blood flow in the renal arteries and veins are enhanced with color. The areas that remain anechoic are the urinary collection system. This technique can help distinguish vasculature from dilated collecting systems. It is important to remember that red and blue indicate directionality and not the oxygenation status of the blood. Play Video +++ Female bladder, longitudinal ++ Vedio Graphic Jump Location Video 12-04: Full bladder in a female pelvis In this longitudinal view of the female pelvis, the anechoic bladder can be seen with a diamond shape. The uterus is visible to the left and deep of the bladder. Edge artifact casts shadows to the bottom of the screen from the curved edges of the bladder. The operator is fanning from left to right to evaluate the whole bladder. No free fluid is seen in the pelvis.

This clip demonstrates that in a male pelvis. ... Your Access profile is currently affiliated with [InstitutionA] and is in the process of switching affiliations to [InstitutionB].
