Renal system seminar
Slide1 Renal system seminar.
Slide2 normal KUB may come in the exam.
Slide3 Renal stones:
85% of stones are radio-opaque (use KUB).
15% of stones are radio-lucent (use US or CT).
In the renal rejoin
renal stone.
Outside the renal rejoin
ureteric stone.
Pelvic rejoin
bladder stone or phlebolith (round, radiolucent center).
Slide4 first photo (KUB show renal stone) second photo (KUB show ureteric stone).
Slide5 first photo (KUB show renal stone) second photo (KUB show ureteric stone).
Slide6 Calcification of the urinary bladder wall (due to schistosomiasis).
Slide7 CT scan:
Coronal view show double J catheter + ureteric stone + schistosomiasis.
Axial view show schistosomiasis.
Slide8 bladder exstrophy:
Radiographic appearance in bladder exstrophy. It describes wide midline separation of the
pubic bones.
Bladder exstrophy (also known as ectopia vesicae) refers to a herniation of the urinary
bladder through an anterior abdominal wall defect. The severity of these defects is widely
variable.
Slide9 bladder exstrophy.

Slide10 Normal CT scan of abdomen:
Plans or views
axial, coronal, sagittal.
Black (hypodense), white (hyperdense).
Opaque and lucent stones appear hyperdense in CT.
Types
plane CT (without contrast) and contrast CT.
Oral contrast
use gastrographine and the stomach appears white.
IV contrast
the vessels appear white.
Slide11 contrast CT with oral and IV contrast.
Slide12 CT scan stones in kidneys.
Slide13
First photo:
Plane CT scan / stone and hydronephrosis in the right kidney, left kidney is normal
(black area in the center is fat).
Note: dilated cortex = cyst // dilated pelvis = hydronephrosis (according to the
density we can differentiate between fluid, soft tissue, mass).
Second photo:
CT scan with contrast / Stone + hydronephrosis.
Slide14 Stage horn calculus / KUB films / radio opaque stones.
Slide15
First photo:
KUB study.
Stag horn stone.
Note: IVU study give the same image but not stone, it could be PUJ obstruction.
Second photo:
Stone in the bladder.
Bilateral stag horn stone.

Slide16 procedure of IVU study.
Slide17 Normal IVU series.
Slide18
First photo: IVU study, left ureteric stone.
Second photo: IVU study, bilateral hydronephrosis.
Slide19 Hydronephrosis + filling defect (stone which causing partial obstruction because
lower ureter appear).
Slide20 Bilateral HU + HN, the cause:
Exclude bilateral stone.
Exclude bladder tumor.
Exclude reflux.
If all causes are no
then it is megaureter.
Slide21 only left hydronephrosis, right kidney (other pathology .)غير مطلوبة
Slide22
RT sided PUJ stenosis & obstruction with RT sided HN
Slide23 nothing.
Slide24 Uretrocele (cobra head shape) distal both sided ureteric ends with dilated both
ureters
Slide25
First photo: uretrocele.
Second photo: copra head + hydroureter + hydronephrosis (bilateral).
Slide26 megacalyces ( .)غير مطلوب

Slide27 megaureter.
Slide28 right side (hydronephrosis), left side (polycystic kidney spider leg appearance
of the kidny).
Slide29 Absent kidney ((DDx agenesis, nephropathy lead to renal failure,
nephrectomy)).
Slide30 absent right kidney.
Slide31 Duplication of the renal system.
Slide32 Duplication of the renal system.
Slide33 horse shoe kidney with hydronephrosis.
Slide34
First photo: not important.
Second photo: crossed ectopia / right kidney in the left side and the right ureter is inserted
in the right side of bladder.
Slide35 Hydronephrosis + hydroureter + neurogenic bladder (irregular shape of the
bladder called christmas tree sign).
Slide36
IVU show filling defect in the bladder which could be stone, tumor or BPH and we can
differentiate between them by clinical picture.
In male
BPH lead to filling defect in the base on bladder.
In female
uterus compress the bladder from above.
Slide37 BPH with elevated bladder base.

5
Slide38 irregular large felling defect tumor.
Slide39
Renal cell ca destruction & missing of the normal appearance of the RT PCS.
Note: pelvi-calyceal system could be stretched (polycystic kidney) or destroyed (tumor).
Slide40 US show hypoechoic lesion at the parenchyma it is tumor (RCC most
common).
Slide41
Contrast CT scan showing soft tissue mass, hypodense, from the parenchyma, in the left
kidney, the mass take the contrast.
Large mass from parenchyma
tumor (vascular tumor if take the contrast).
Cyst
same picture but the density differ.
Slide42 contrast CT scan, showing hypodense mass mixed or complex (contain both soft
tissue and fluid) this is tumor with necrosis and degeneration.
Slide43 Wilms tumor.
Slide44 soft tissue shadow involve hemiabdomen in the left side, DDx:
Splenomegaly.
Tumor
renal (Wilms), adrenal (neuroblastoma), muscle (rhadbomyosarcoma).
Note: in the right side there is bowel .مدفوعة
Slide45 Normal US of the renal system.
Slide46 normal kidney US .قد يأتي باالمتحان
Slide47 US showing hydronephrosis.

Slide48
Simple renal cyst with acoustic enhancement.
Slide49
Polycystic renal disease in ultrasound demonstrate numerous cysts seen in
cortex & medulla.
Slide50 Polycystic renal disese in CT scan diffuse liver & kidney affection.
Slide51
First photo: not important.
Second photo: Multicystic dysplastic kidney:
1.hypoechoic cysts of variable sizes and shapes,
2.interfaces between cysts,
3.absence of an identifiable renal sinus,
4.lack of communication between cysts on sonograms,
5. minimal surrounding parenchyma
Slide52
Renal stones (white echogenic stones with reflections).
Note: No acoustic show = no stone // calcifications not have acoustic shadow.
Slide53 First photo = stone in the urethrovesical junction.
Slide54 US showing hypoechoic irregular mass in the bladder (mostly TCC).
