Figure 10.5 (A) Obstructed kidney with pelvicalyceal system (PCS) dilatation and a dilated upper ureter. (B) Mobile<br />

stones were demonstrated in the bladder, but the level of obstruction in the ureter could not be positively identified.<br />

Intravenous urogram (IVU) confirmed a stone in the ureter. (C) Severe laceration to the liver following a road traffic<br />

accident. (D) The same patient’s CT scan confirms the liver injury and demonstrates an avascular right kidney<br />

(compared with the normal left kidney (LK)) due to laceration of the renal vessels. (E) Acute renal colic. IVU demonstrates<br />

a left hydronephrosis with a stone in the lower ureter. (This area is not usually demonstrable with ultrasound.)
