Renal Ultrasound

Renal ultrasound is a medical imaging technique used to examine the kidneys and surrounding structures. It uses sound waves to create images of these organs, helping doctors identify issues such as kidney stones, cysts, tumors, or abnormalities in size and shape. The procedure is non-invasive, does not involve radiation, and is typically performed by a trained technician. Patients lie on an examination table while a gel is applied to the skin, allowing a handheld device called a transducer to capture images. The results assist in diagnosing various kidney-related conditions and guiding treatment options.
