Dr. Mazin

X ray of urology

This a 

KUB film (Kidney-ureter-bladder)

Pubis symphysis, and xiphoid of sternum

If these two not shown, it is 

plain 

abdominal film

KUB is taken while the patient is standing.

Named: name of patient

Labeled for known direction

Dated

Showing (any findings)

Plain X ray means without contrast

Look for any 

radio opaque opacity

Osteoporosis shows black area in bone

Radioopaqe opacity means white spot 

Diffrential diagnosis

Foreign body in clothes

Scars in skin

Calcified lymph node 

Calcified hematoma

Calcified tumor

Stones

Double J catheter, a stent

J shape end for staying in position , form both 

ends
Indications

Prophylaxis 

Prevent obstruction after or within surgey

For gynecological purpose to avoided 

uretric injury During hysterectomy "Water 
under bridge)

Treatment

Bypass stone or obstruciton

Uretric trauma

Uretric surgery

Common side effect

Irritative voiding system

Hematurea

Slipping and migration inside the body

Don't say stone, but say most likely stone

Don't the the opacity in ureter or bladder, but say it in 

pelvic region, then say most likely stone in the ureter 
for example
Radio opaque in right kidney misleading with gall 

bladder (gall bladder stones mostly radio lucent, 
confirmed by lateral x ray (if anterior to mid axillary line 
most likely gall bladder, if posterior to it most likely 
renal) or ultra sound )

KUB film named, labeled, dated. 

Showing radio opaque opacity in 

pelvic lesion, most likely a vesicle 

stone (secondary to upper system)

KUB, named, dated, labeled (label 

should be on right not left). Showing 

radio opaque opacity in pelvic 

lesion, most likely uretric stone 

(because lateral position, if vesical it 

should be with gravity)


background image

IVU film (intra venous urography, contrast excreted 

exclusively by kidney) ةنولم ةعشأ

Always say I need KUB film

Indications

Recurrent hematurea

Trauma

Tumor

Congenital anomaly

Gynecological 

Recurrent UTI

At night fasting, no eat in morning, take rectul 

suppository to reduce gasses, ask for allergy to 
penciline and asthma and pregnancy 
(contraindication)
Also contraindicated in DM patients who taking 

metformin (cause lactic acidosis), should stop it 
2 days before and after, and use insulin during 
this period.
Always 

must be KUB before IVU

First image in one minture of injection called 

nephrogram.

Delay means impairment in kidney, like 

renal artery stenosis

Second image in fifteen minutes called 

pyelogram (calyx and pelvis and upper ureter)

Dilated uretric means hydrouretronephrosis 

due to stone for example.

Third image in 30-60 min called cystogram

Nephronstomy catheter (

Nephrostogram)

Indications

Diagnostic

To know level of obstruction

Taking biopsy

Therapeutic

Destruction of renal stone

Bypass obstruction

Evacuation of pu

Pelvic kidney , 1/400000-600000 

Liable for stasis, stones, TB, and carcinoma,

Problematic in pregnancy

Most common cause of bilateral hydronephrosis in 

children is posterior valve obstruction (congenital)









KUB film, not named, labeled, dated.

Showing multiple radio opaque 

opacity in right renal area, most likely 

multiple renal stones.

KUB ... etc

Showing Double J tube

KUB ... etc. Showing radioopaque 

opacity in right renal area.

(misleading with gall bladder (gall 

bladder stones mostly radio lucent, 

confirmed by lateral x ray (if anterior to 

mid axillary line most likely gall bladder, 

if posterior to it most likely renal) or 

ultra sound ))

IVU, I need KUB

It is named, labeled, dated.

6KUB ... etc

Showing radio opaque opacity in 

pelvic region, most likely uretric 

stone.

8Plain abdominal X ray! (Symphysis pubis 

not shown)


background image


















































IVU , I need KUB ...etc

Ectopia

Nephrostogram (not IVU)

IVU...

Cross-renal ectopia, congenital 

anomaly (But ureter does not cross 

because of different origin)

IVU ...

Malrotated kidney زعالنه


background image



























IVU...

Hydronephrosis

IVU... etc

Pelvic kidney

KUB film not named not dated not labeled.

Multiple vesicular stone. (This presents as 

unanimity to urinate while sitting, but able 

when stand and move around)

(This is a child, epi-phiseal plates un united)

IVU ... etc

Bivid pelvis of right kidney


background image































Ectopic note from Dr. Alaa 

Stoma closed 8-12 weeks
Not earlier due to inflammation
Not after due to distal part atrophy













Complication of double J tube 

(perforation)

IVU, I need a KUB

Named, not dated, labeled.

Child (un united epi phiseal plates) with 

bilateral hydronephrosis, most common 

cause is posterior valve obstruction 

(congenital)
