1.5.1\ Scanning Method

The patient lies flat or on the right decubitus. The transducer is placed at the left posterior axillary line, the ninth or tenth intercostal space in a coronal approach. The spleen can be used as an acoustic window. If the upper pole is not imaged clearly, the patient could be told to hold a deep inspiration to have the organs moving down.

1.5.2\ Section Structure

Coronal planes of the kidney and renal hilum are shown being similar to the right kidney.

1.5.3\ Measuring Method and Normal

Length and parenchymal thickness of the kidney are 10–11.9 cm and about 1.0 cm. Width of the renal pelvis can also be measured.

1.5.4\ The Clinical Application Value

Diffuse and space-occupying lesions, developmental deformity of the renal pelvis, and hydronephrosis can be diagnosed in this view.
