1.6.1\ Scanning Method

The patient lies flat or on the right decubitus. The transducer is moved up and down in a transverse approach of the left kidney.

1.6.2\ Section Structure

Transverse planes of the kidney and renal hilum are shown. Anterior to and posterior to the left kidney lie the lower pole of spleen and the great psoas muscle in their transverse lanes, respectively.

1.6.3\ Measuring Method and Normal

Posterior-anterior diameter and width of the kidney can be measured.

1.6.4\ The Clinical Application Value

It is more clear to show the lesions, such as cysts, locating at the subcapsule of the kidney or processing the renal capsule in this view than in the longitudinal plane of the kidney. Lesions of the great psoas muscle and renal hilum can also be imaged. This view is often used to make the differential diagnosis of the lesions in the left kidney, pancreatic tail, retroperitoneum, and spleen.
