26 gru 2015 · Successful sonography of renal vessels requires the use of gray-scale sonography, tissue harmonics, color flow imaging, power Doppler, and spectral Doppler wave analysis. Additionally, ultrasound contrast agents can aid in the sonographic evaluation of renal vessels.
There are 2 techniques, direct method and indirect method, used to investigate renal arterial supply. Both ideally are used in conjuction with each other, however, in circumstances where the renal artery is not seen in its entirety then the indirect approach alone can give an indication of vascular disease.
21 lis 2016 · Renal artery doppler is a powerful tool for the diagnosis of Renal Artery Stenosis (RAS). One of the more involved exams in the sonographers arsenal, learning the proper anatomy and techniques can make the process a challenging yet pleasurable one. Indications. Hypertension; Abdominal bruit; Known renal artery stenosis follow up; Elevated BUN ...
5 cze 2023 · Summarize the common indications for a renal Doppler ultrasound examination for native as well as transplant kidneys. Describe classic imaging findings associated with renal artery stenosis, renal artery thrombosis, renal vein thrombosis, and pseudoaneurysms/arteriovenous fistulas.
30 lip 2021 · Complete renal vascular Doppler assessment involves determining the patency and waveform of the main renal artery and vein; the waveform of the arcuate and interlobar arteries in the upper, interpolar, and lower pole regions; and their associated resistive index (RI).
2 sty 2020 · Renal artery stenosis. (A) Color Doppler image shows segmental narrowing of the right renal artery with color aliasing in the stenotic region ( arrow ). (B) Elevated peak systolic velocities ( PS ) measuring 305 cm/s are present in the stenosis. (C) Spectral Doppler sample through the mid abdominal aorta demonstrates a peak systolic velocity of ...
5 mar 2016 · Doppler ultrasound evaluation of the renal arteries is one of the most challenging tests to perform given the small size of the renal vessels, their depth, and variation in anatomy. It requires knowledge of the local anatomy, normal waveform physiology, and image optimization.
