Title: Dilated renal collecting systems: differentiating obstructive from nonobstructive dilation using duplex Doppler ultrasound. Author: Bude RO, Platt JF, Rubin JM, Ohl DA. Journal: Urology; 1991 Feb; 37(2):123-5. PubMed ID: 1992579. Abstract: Two patients with ileal loop urinary diversions, studied with real-time and Doppler sonography ("duplex sonography") of the kidneys, were shown to have dilated intrarenal collecting systems. Resistive index measurements calculated from the Doppler signal correctly identified obstructive dilatation in 1 case and nonobstructive dilatation in the other.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
