sonography of the kidney | Ultrasound examination of the kidney and the urinary tract can determine their location as well as findings such as kidney or bladder stones, tumors or congenital malformations. The emptying function of the bladder can also be easily monitored using ultrasound. The image of the filled and then the emptied bladder provides information about the filling volume and the possible residual urine quantity, but also about the bladder contour including possible irregularities, such as those that occur in bladder tumors or bladder diverticula.An ultrasound examination of the testicle can rule out testicular tumors, which often occur even in young men. |
