C. Felkai et al., LESIONS OF THE RENAL PELVIS AND PROXIMAL URETER IN VARIOUS NEPHRO-UROLOGICAL CONDITIONS - AN ULTRASONOGRAPHIC STUDY, Veterinary radiology & ultrasound, 36(5), 1995, pp. 397-401
The applicability of ultrasonography was studied in the diagnosis of l
esions of the renal pelvis and ureter in 10 dogs. Ultrasonographic fin
dings of processes associated with dilatation and concretion formation
in the renal pelvis were described and the differential diagnosis of
the lesions was discussed. The authors propose a new classification sy
stem for judging processes characterized by dilatation of the renal pe
lvis, Experience suggests that ultrasonography is an effective procedu
re in the diagnosis of certain diseases of the upper urinary tract in
dogs.
