Actually, this is a sample and demo topic for the contributors to give a visual representation of how, to present the presentation material for core making kidneys, kidneys are paired, retroperitoneal organs in the mid abdomen, found

There are two major components, the outer cortex, and the inner medulla

The renal medulla is divided into multiple lobes, composed of pyramids

Formed your inflows into a minor calyx, the joins into major calyx, which unites into the renal pelvis, and then flows through the ureter to the urine bladder

Both kidneys are supplied by renal arteries, directly from the abdominal aorta, and the renal vein drains directly into the inferior

Cava these renal vessels can be single or multiple and call this accessory arteries

Their present should be documented, which are important in case of surgical planning, the lymphatic drainage of the kidneys is the aorta, cable lymph nodes

So what are the Imaging techniques in the kidney? They are the x-rays ultrasound

And angiography, and also functional Imaging by nuclear Imaging coming to the x-rays

As we all know, x-rays are radiation based investigation or x-rays penetrate the body, and the outcoming razor image in a film or cassette

But the kidneys are soft tissue structures, which are partially radiopaque and masked by the superimposed to Jason soft tissues

But kidney stones, can be well, visualized in plane x-rays as they are very opaque Round / oval structures in area of kidneys

When is the ultrasound it is a self-explanatory word? Yes, ultrasonic sounds are used for Imaging the patient and it's free of Iona sing radiation

This kind of Investigation is portable easily available and operator dependent

This is one of the primary and preliminary method of Investigation for abdomen, including Imaging of kidneys, computer tomography, computed tomography, your CTS

It is also radiation based investigation, but it is the best modality of choice for regional imaging because of its high-resolution, specificity and sensitivity, magnetic, resonance, imaging, or MRI of the kidneys

These investigations are not routinely practiced and it's usually advised in case of indeterminate lesions in other studies

MRI is tissue-specific, and it is used mainly in challenging situations to differentiate, for example, complex cystic, lesions in the kidneys, and we have few other investigation methods, but I'll be mentioning one by one intravenous pyelography

As I have previously mentioned patient receives intravenous contrast before the examination and images taken approximately 5 to 10 minutes, which is the urine excretion phase

And here you can see in the image, the contract being excreted by the kidneys, to the Kayla, cease renal pelvis and to the ureter seen his lines on both shown by the arrows, on the image

The left kidney has 20 or collecting system, which is a congenital anomaly

The urinary bladder is catheterized and contrast is injected through the catheter to the urinary bladder and the catheter is removed

The patient is asked to urinate and a series of images are taken during the training by this method

This kind of Investigation is used in case of vesicoureteral reflux, neurogenic bladder and impatience with the bladder trauma
