Summary

Sonography can visualize normal lower ureters during pelvic exams. Recognizing these ureteral findings aids in assessing renal colic and identifying ureteral stones.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Urology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Routine pelvic sonography can visualize the lower ureters.
  • Understanding normal ureteral sonographic features is crucial for accurate diagnosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the sonographic features of normal lower ureters.
  • To evaluate the utility of ureteral visualization in diagnosing renal colic and ureteral stones.

Main Methods:

  • Sonographic examination of the lower ureters in 40 patients.
  • Comparison with excretory urograms in 18 patients.

Main Results:

  • Visualization of the lower ureters is a normal sonographic finding.
  • Normal ureteral visualization does not indicate stasis or dilatation.
  • Ureteral visualization aids in assessing renal colic and locating ureteral stones.

Conclusions:

  • Sonographic recognition of normal lower ureters is valuable in clinical practice.
  • This technique can improve the accuracy of diagnosing ureteral stones and evaluating ureteral conditions.
