Contrast Exposure

25
Q
  1. Indications of CT Stonogram/Urogram
A

Renal Stone Disease
Renal/Bladder Massess
Trauma

26
Q
  1. Renal Stone Disease present as ____ hematuria
A

Painful

27
Q
  1. Renal/Bladder Masses present as _____ hematuria
A

Painless

28
Q
  1. Becoming the gold standard for detection of renal calculi
A

Non – contrast CT

29
Q
  1. This result from failure of the kidneys to ascend from the true pelvis into the lumbar region
A

Renal Ectopia

30
Q
  1. Most common form of Renal Ectopia
A

Pelvic Kidney

31
Q
  1. What condition is characterized by the fusion of kidneys at lower pole by a parenchymal or fibrous isthmus.
A

Horseshoe Kidney

32
Q
  1. Horseshoe Kidney is associated with these conditions
A

Ureteropelvic junction obstruction, ureteral duplication, and genital tract anomalies.

33
Q
  1. This is a non – neoplastic benign saclike structures containing fluid
A

Simple Renal Cyst

34
Q
  1. Simple Renal Cyst is most commonly found in what area of the kidney
A

Renal Cortex; less commonly in parenchymal or parapelvic location

35
Q
  1. Modality of choice for Renal Cyst
A

Ultrasound

36
Q
  1. Pathognomonic Findings in Simple Renal Cyst
A

Spherical or slightly ovoid shape, homogenous internal structure and smooth margin

A

Splaying of calices by smooth tumor

38
Q
  1. The following would point to Atypical Cyst
A

Intracystic calcification and thickened wall
Higher viscosity of cyst fluid
Septa
Homogenous Internal Structure and Smooth wall

39
Q
  1. These are classified under Complicated Cyst
A

Hemorrhagic Cyst –simple cyst secondarily affected by hemorrhage due to trauma or hemorrhagic diathesis
Infected Cyst - VUR, hematogenous infection
Ruptured Cyst

40
Q
