Human Physiology/Print Version What It Is. A renal ultrasound is a safe and painless test that uses sound waves to make images of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs located toward the back of the abdominal cavity, just above the waist. They remove waste products from the blood and produce urine.

Medical Dictionary You will need to have a full bladder to get the best ultrasound image. You may be asked to drink 2 to 3 glasses of liquid an hour before the test. Do not urinate before the procedure.

Nuchal Translucency Ultrasound Pregnancy ultrasounds are performed mainly using transabdominal ultrasound (scan through the maternal abdomen). We usually get better images during transabdominal ultrasound if the bladder is partially filled, so to help your examination we ask you to drink water prior to your assessment.

- Types of Urinary Tests. Cystoscopy. Overview of Cystoscopy. Cystoscopy, or cystourethroscopy, is a procedure usually performed by a urologist that allows the physician to see the inside of the lower urinary tract (urethra, prostate, bladder neck, and bladder). Cystoscopy can be used to detect abnormalities of the lower urinary tract or to assist in transurethral surgery (e.g., prostate surgery).

- Summary. Ultrasonography is an important initial imaging modality for the evaluation of the urinary bladder. Distension of the bladder is important for an optimal evaluation of the bladder. Several benign lesions of the bladder, including calculi, diverticula, and ureteroceles, can be detected with ultrasonography.

Transvaginal Ultrasound Health professional information. Transvaginal ultrasound is an examination of the female pelvis and urogenital tract (kidneys and bladder). It helps to see if there is any abnormality in your uterus (womb), cervix (the neck of the womb), endometrium (lining of the womb), fallopian tubes, ovaries, bladder and the pelvic cavity. It differs from an abdominal ultrasound as it looks at the pelvic organs from inside the vagina.

âVoiding Cystourethrogram (VCUG) What is a Voiding Cystourethrogram (VCUG) test? A voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) is an imaging study that allows us to evaluate the functioning of your child’s bladder, urethra, and kidneys, and to detect reflux (a condition in which urine backs up to the kidneys instead of flowing out through the urethra).

Children's (Pediatric) Voiding Cystourethrogram A children's (pediatric) voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) is an x-ray examination of a child's bladder and urinary tract that uses a special form of x-ray called fluoroscopy and a contrast material. An x-ray (radiograph) is a noninvasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions.

Transvaginal Ultrasound What is a transvaginal ultrasound? Ultrasound is the term used for high-frequency soundwaves. Ultrasound examinations use these sound waves to produce a picture or image onto a screen showing the inside of your body. An ultrasound is carried out by a trained health professional (sonographer, radiologist or sonologist). Transvaginal ultrasound is an examination of the female pelvis. It helps to see if there is any abnormality in the uterus (womb), cervix (the neck of the womb), endometrium (lining of the womb), fallopian tubes, ovaries, bladder or the pelvic cavity.

Being diagnosed with non-invasive bladder cancer A CT scan takes a series of x-rays, which builds up a three-dimensional picture of the inside of the body. A CT urogram is a CT scan of the bladder, ureters and kidneys. The scan takes 10–30 minutes and is painless.

Urodynamic Testing Urodynamic testing examines bladder and sphincter function. It involves putting a small tube in the bladder and asking the patient questions while slowly filling up the bladder and measuring pressure. X-rays are used to see the bladder (a cystogram).

Ultrasound - Prostate In men, the prostate gland is located directly in front of the rectum, so the ultrasound exam is performed transrectally in order to position the imaging probe as close to the prostate gland as possible. For a transrectal ultrasound, you will be asked to lie on your side with your knees bent.

Pelvic Ultrasound A pelvic ultrasound uses sound waves to make a picture of the organs and structures in the lower belly (pelvis). A pelvic ultrasound looks at the bladder and: 1  The ovaries, uterus, cervix, and fallopian tubes of a woman (female organs).2  The prostate gland and seminal vesicles of a man (male organs). pelvic ultrasound uses sound waves to make a picture of the organs and structures in the lower belly (pelvis). A pelvic ultrasound looks at the bladder and: 1  The ovaries, uterus, cervix, and fallopian tubes of a woman (female organs).

Abdominal ultrasonography For example, by pressing the ultrasound probe against the gallbladder, a radiological Murphy's sign can be elicited. Through the abdominal wall, organs inside the pelvis can be seen, such as the as urinary bladder or the ovaries and uterus in women.

Kidney ultrasound When the ultrasound tool is placed on the abdomen, the ultrasonic waves go through the skin and bounce off the organs. This creates an electronic image of the organs. A kidney ultrasound may be helpful in detecting cysts, tumors, obstructions, abscesses, fluid collection or infection in the kidneys.

Cystoscopy of the Bladder Cystoscopy of the Bladder. Cystoscopy of the Bladder. Cystoscopy is a test that looks at the inner lining of the bladder and the tube from the bladder to the outside of the body (urethra). The cystoscope is a thin, lighted viewing tool that is put into the urethra and moved into the bladder.

Prostate Tests What is urodynamic testing? Urodynamic testing is any procedure that looks at how well the bladder, sphincters, and urethra are storing and releasing urine. Most urodynamic tests focus on the bladder’s ability to hold urine and empty steadily and completely.

Ultrasound scans Bladder residual ultrasound. It’s important to measure the volume of urine left in the bladder after you pass water, because if you are not emptying it properly this may mean you have an enlarged prostate. After you’ve passed urine into a flow meter (see above), we scan your bladder to see how much urine is left behind.

What is Urodynamics? What is Urodynamics? Urodynamic studies (UDS) test how well the bladder, sphincters, and urethra hold and release urine. These tests can show how well the bladder works and why there could be leaks or blockages. There are many types of urodynamic tests. A health care provider may recommend one or more based on your symptoms, but they are typically performed together as one test.

Urinary Retention In Men A bladder scan uses a portable ultrasound device that can determine how much urine is in your bladder. You will be asked to urinate, and then your doctor or nurse will use the bladder scan to determine the post-void residual (PVR). The word residual refers to the amount of urine left in the bladder after urination.

Ultrasound Procedures Transvaginal Ultrasound. Upon having a pelvic ultrasound, a transvaginal ultrasound may be required in order to visualize the female pelvic in more detail. A transvaginal ultrasound is performed by inserting a narrow probe/transducer into the vagina with your bladder empty. This allows the sonographer to visualize your uterus and ovaries up close and magnified because the sound waves are closer to the pelvic organs.

Renal Ultrasound Renal Ultrasound. Why have a renal ultrasound? It can detect kidney stones, cysts, abnormal masses and obstruction of blood flow in the arteries and veins. The kidneys are important enough of an organ that nature gave us two of them.

In words: A Urinary Tract CT scan of the kidneys and bladder are called a CT KUB or CT urogram. This type of scan can find kidney stones, bladder stones, or blockage of the urinary tract. A doctor or physician may order a CT scan of the urinary tract to make detailed pictures and analyze the internal structure.
