How to Perform the Complete Abdominal Ultrasound Examination
نویسنده
چکیده
At our institution, an abdominal ultrasound is typically the first imaging test performed when perforation of the lower urinary tract is suspected. However, the location of the perforation is almost impossible to determine with ultrasound. As a result, some sort of positive contrast study is usually performed when a uroabdomen or uroretroperitoneum is present. For the urinary bladder or urethra, a cystourethrogram is the best choice. An excretory urogram is necessary to evaluate for trauma to the ureters.
