Ultrasound Study of the Ureters and Intrarenal Excretory Tract
摘要
For a considerable period, ultrasound was deemed insufficient for assessing the ureter. More recently, advances in ultrasound devices, coupled with a growing interest among operators in this method, have partly modified this perspective. However, some elements that can make the examination difficult still need to be taken into account, such as the ureter’s deep position in the retroperitoneum and potential interference from bowel loops and contents.
