CHAPTER 9 Renal Scanning Protocol 179
2. When the kidney is identified, resolve the long axis, then very slightly rock the transducer superior to inferior while sliding the transducer anteriorly (toward the patient’s front), scanning through and beyond the kidney margin. Evaluate the perirenal region as you scan through it.
3. Move the transducer back onto the kidney. Slowly rocking and sliding move posteriorly (toward the patient’s back), scanning through and beyond the right kidney. Evaluate the perirenal region as you scan through it.
Right Kidney • Axial Survey
Transverse Plane • Transabdominal Anterior Approach
1. Still in the sagittal scanning plane, relocate the long axis of the right kidney. Slowly rotate the transducer 90 degrees into the transverse plane. The rounded, axial section of the kidney will come into view.

NOTE: As an alternative, you can start the axial survey in the transverse plane. Begin scanning with the transducer perpendicular, just inferior to the costal margin of the medial angle of the ribs. With the patient hold­ing his or her breath, move the transducer in right lateral and inferior sections until the kidney is located.

2. When the kidney is identified, slowly move the transducer slightly superior and medial, or inferior and lateral, to locate the mid por­tion of the kidney and visualize the renal hilum. It may be neces­sary to very slightly twist/rotate the transducer, first one way then the other, to slightly oblique the scanning plane to adequately resolve the hilum.
3. From the hilum, slightly rock the transducer side to side while slowly sliding the transducer superior and medial through and beyond the superior pole of the kidney. Evaluate the perirenal region as you scan through it.

4. Continue rocking, and move the transducer back onto the superior pole. Slowly slide the transducer inferior and right lateral through the mid portion and the inferior pole of the kidney. Scan through and beyond the inferior pole. Evaluate the perirenal region as you scan through it.

NOTE: The axial survey of the right kidney can be performed from a transverse plane, right lateral approach. This approach can be performed with the patient supine, but it is usually easier to scan with the patient in a left lateral decubitus position.
1. Begin scanning with the transducer perpendicular, at the mid­line and just superior to the iliac crest. Have the patient hold his or her breath while you move or angle the transducer superior to inferior or scan intercostally if necessary to locate the kidney.

2. When the kidney is identified, resolve the renal hilum, then very slightly rock the transducer side to side while sliding the transducer superiorly through and beyond the kidney margin. Evaluate the perirenal region as you scan through it.
3. Move the transducer back onto the kidney. Slowly rocking and sliding move inferiorly, scanning through and beyond the right kidney. Evaluate the perirenal region as you scan through it.
Left Kidney • Longitudinal Survey
Coronal Plane • Left Lateral Approach
NOTE: Although this approach can be performed with the patient supine, it is generally easier with the patient in the right lateral decubi­tus position. Imaging quality might be improved by placing a sponge or rolled towel under the patient’s right side to open up the rib spaces on the patient’s left.
1. Begin scanning with the transducer perpendicular, midcoronal plane, just superior to the iliac crest.
NOTE: If the kidney is not seen in the midcoronal plane, try approaches just to the right and left of the midline.
182 PART III Abdominal Scanning Protocols
2. Have the patient take in a deep breath and hold it while you move or angle the transducer superior to inferior to locate the kidney. When the kidney is located, very slightly twist/rotate the transducer, first one way then the other (to oblique the scanning plane according to the vertical oblique lie of the right kidney), to resolve the long axis.
3. Once the long axis is determined, very slightly rock the transducer superior to inferior while slowly sliding the transducer anteriorly (toward the patient’s front), scanning through and beyond the kidney margin. Evaluate the perirenal region as you scan through it.
4. Move the transducer back onto the kidney. Slowly rocking and sliding, move posteriorly (toward the patient’s back), scanning through and beyond the left kidney. Evaluate the perirenal region as you scan through it.
NOTE: The longitudinal survey of the left kidney may have to be per­formed intercostally, depending on body habitus and the position of the kidney. Begin with the transducer perpendicular, midcoronal plane, in the first inferior intercostal space. Have the patient hold his or her breath while you move superiorly through the adjacent intercostal spaces to evaluate the entire kidney. Varying respiration and angling the transducer

within the intercostal spaces can aid evaluation. In some cases, only the superior pole will have to be evaluated intercostally.
Left Kidney • Axial Survey
Transverse Plane • Left Lateral Approach
1. Still in the coronal scanning plane, relocate the long axis of the left kidney. Slowly rotate the transducer 90 degrees into the plane. The round to oval axial section of the kidney will come into view.
NOTE: As an alternative, you can start the axial survey in the transverse plane. Begin scanning with the transducer perpendicular, at the midline and just superior to the iliac crest. Have the patient hold his or her breath while you move the transducer superior to inferior to locate the kidney.

2. When the kidney is identified, slowly move the transducer slightly medial, then very small movements superior and inferior to locate the midportion of the kidney and visualize the renal hilum. It may be necessary to very slightly twist/rotate the transducer, first one way then the other, to oblique the scanning plane to adequately resolve the hilum.
3. From the hilum, slightly rock the transducer side to side while slowly sliding the transducer superior and through and beyond the superior pole of the kidney. Evaluate the perirenal region as you scan through it.
4. Continue rocking, and move the transducer back onto the superior pole. Slowly slide the transducer inferiorly through the mid por­tion and the inferior pole of the kidney. Scan through and beyond the inferior pole. Evaluate the perirenal region as you scan through it.
NOTE: The axial survey of the left kidney may have to be performed intercostally, depending on body habitus and the position of the kidney. Begin with the transducer perpendicular, at the midline, in the first infe­rior intercostal space. Have the patient hold his or her breath while you move superiorly through the adjacent intercostal spaces to evaluate the entire kidney. Varying respiration and angling the transducer within the intercostal spaces can aid evaluation. In some cases, only the superior pole will have to be evaluated intercostally.

NOTE: The required images are a small representation of what a sonog-
rapher visualizes during a study. Therefore, the images should provide the interpreting physician with the most telling and technically accurate information available.
