(Top) Transverse grayscale ultrasound of the upper pole of the left kidney using the anterolateral approach. Note that the image<br />

quality is limited by interference from gas in the stomach <strong>and</strong> bowel. The presence of bowel loops anteriorly also limits the use of this<br />

approach for interventional procedures on the left kidney. (Middle) Transverse grayscale ultrasound of the mid pole of the left kidney<br />

using the anterolateral approach. (Bottom) Transverse grayscale ultrasound of the lower pole of the left kidney using the anterolateral<br />

approach.<br />
