What can B-ultrasound detect in kidney?

B-mode ultrasound scans the human body using ultrasonic beams. After receiving and processing the reflected signals, it obtains images of the organs in the human body. In kidney examination, B-mode ultrasound is a very common examination. B-mode ultrasound mainly checks the position of the kidney to see if the position of the kidney is in the normal position, because some patients are born with a single kidney, that is, a kidney, and some people are horseshoe kidneys. It depends on the size of the kidney, whether the kidney shrinks, because many diseases, such as chronic renal failure, the kidney volume is smaller than the normal volume. There are also obstructive kidney disease, the kidney volume will be larger than the normal kidney, and the shape of the kidney. To determine the scope of the lesion, such as adrenal cysts or tumors, can also be examined by B ultrasound.
