Intravenous Urogram - IVU image
- (Same patient as image above)
- Following intravenous injection of contrast material, the left kidney shows normal excretion with contrast clearing normally from the ureter into the bladder.
- On the right the collecting system is dilated.
- Dilated calyces can be referred to as 'clubbed'.
- The focus of calcification seen on the control KUB image is confirmed as the cause of ureteric obstruction.
