    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Urology

    Background:

    • The kidney's long axis typically exhibits a distal ventral inclination.
    • This anatomical positioning can complicate simultaneous visualization of renal outlines during urography.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a method for improving kidney visualization during urography.
    • To present a technique that aligns the kidney's long axis with the horizontal plane.

    Main Methods:

    • A 100 cm long, wedge-shaped pad with a 16-degree angle was utilized.
    • The pad was placed under the patient's shoulders and back in a supine position.

    Main Results:

    • The described method effectively brings the kidney's long axis parallel to the horizontal plane.
    • Simultaneous visualization of both upper and lower kidney outlines was achieved on a single tomographic cut.

    Conclusions:

    • This positioning technique enhances the diagnostic quality of urography.
    • The use of a wedge-shaped pad offers a practical solution for optimizing renal imaging.
