Diagnostic Ultrasound - Abdomen and Pelvis

Approach to Urinary Tract Sonography
(Left) The urinary bladder wall
is thickened and trabeculated
and there is intraluminal
debris in this patient with
neurogenic bladder. (Right)
This polypoid mass with
internal vascularity was an
incidental finding in a 62-yearold
woman. Cystoscopy
confirmed papillary urothelial
carcinoma.
Diagnoses: Urinary Tract
(Left) This tiny bladder mass
caused hematuria in a 25
year old. (Right) Excretory
phase CT shows a small
polypoid mass near the
right ureteral orifice. The mass
was excised and the diagnosis
was papillary urothelial
neoplasm of low malignant
potential (PUNLMP).
(Left) Color Doppler US shows
thick and irregular but
avascular septations st within
the bladder lumen in a patient
with hemorrhagic cystitis.
(Right) Coronal CT in the same
patient a few days later shows
a large hematoma in the
bladder lumen , as well as
gas ſt introduced at the time
of Foley catheter placement.
