Lower Urinary Tract Ultrasound

A Review

Barbara A. Carroll, M.D.

Duke University Medical Center, Department of Radiology, Box 3808, Durham, NC 27710.

Renal ultrasound for the detection of mass lesions, diffuse renal disease, and hydronephrosis is widely accepted. Less attention has been devoted to sonography of the lower urinary tract; however, recent studies have shown that ultrasound is useful in imaging the renal pelvis, ureters, bladder, and urethra. A variety of instruments are now used to image these areas, and a number of pathologic and physiologic processes can now be imaged. The normal anatomy of the lower urinary tract as visualized by ultrasound and a number of abnormalities which involve this region are discussed.

Key Words: cystosonography • ureteral ultrasound • ureteral peristalsis • urinary tract sonography
