obstructive nephropathy (hydronephrosis) is
sonographically, how is diagnosed using an intrarenal resistivity index (RI)
obstructive nephropathy threshold of greater than 0.7. this method of
differentiated from determining obstruction is only relevant to acute
nonobstructive obstruction. the resistive index may be normal in
nephropathy? chronic obstruction. nonobstructive nephropathy will
have resistive index values of less than 0.7.
ureteropelvic junction unilateral multicystic dysplastic kidney is commonly

common cause of 2. ureteropelvic junction
obstruction in patients 3. ureteric obstruction at level of pelvic inlet
with acute flank pain.
name three common
locations within the

describe the waveform the waveform of the arterial side of an arteriovenous
characteristics of the fistula demonstrates an abnormally low resistive
arterial side of an arterial flow pattern. this means a waveform with
arteriovenous fistula increased and sustained diastolic flow.
describe the waveform the venous side of an arteriovenous fistula
characteristics of the demonstrates a waveform with increased velocity,
venous side of an pulsatility and with spectral broadening due to
arteriovenous fistula turbulence.
1. kidney size less than 9 cm in length
list 4 sonographic criteria
2. peak main renal artery velocity > 180 cm/sec
for determining renal
3. renal artery/aorta ratio > 3.5
artery stenosis
4. intrarenal parvus tardus waveform
describe the sonographic round, cystic structures that project into the bladder
appearance of a lumen at the ureterovesical junction
ureterocele
name the structure that median umbilical ligament ( urachus)
connects the apex of the
bladder to the umbilicus
what is the term that urachal cyst - seen as an echo-free tubular structure
describes cystic dilatation in the lower abdomen that extends from the umbilicus
of the median umbilical to the dome of the bladder
ligament (urachus)
what object is placed in Greenfield Filter
the IVC to prevent the
ascension of lower
extremity thrombus into
the lungs?
what role can ultrasound can determine location
play in the evaluation of
the Greenfield filter?
