The renal parenchyma is separated into the cortex and medulla by what?

Arcuate Vessels

A 2 yr old boy presents with hematuria and a palpable left flank mass. An ultrasound exam is performed, and a solid renal mass is identified. This is most characteristic of what?

Wilm's Tumor

A patient presents with ampulla of vater obstruction, distension of the GB, and painless jaundice. This is associated with?

Courvoiser's sign

Long-standing cystic duct obstruction will give rise to

Hydropic Gallbladder

While performing an ultrasound exam, the sonographer finds that both kidneys measure 5 cm in length. They are very echogenic. One should consider the possibility of all of the following except

Renal vein thrombosis
(consider chornic glomerulonephritis, chornic pyelonephritis, and renal vascular disease)

Staghorn calculus refers to a large stone within the

Renal pelvis of the kidney

Identify the gastrointestinal peptide hormone, which stimulates gallbladder contraction

Cholecystokinin

The portion of the liver that is not covered by peritoneum is termed

bare area

The normal thickness of the gallbladder wall

3 mm

The pancreatic head lies

caudad to the portal vein and anterior to the IVC

Identify the sonographic pattern that best describes hydronephrosis

fluid-filled pelvocaliceal collecting system

A patient persents with a dilated interhepatic duct, dilated GB, and a dilated CBD. Identify the level of obstruction this is most characteristic of

Distal CBD

The most common location of pacreatic pseudocyst

lesser sac

The extrahepatic portion of the falciform ligament

is visualized when massive ascites is present

The SMA arises 1 cm below the celiac trunk and courses

anterior and parallel to the aorta

The division by using Couinaud's sections into right and left lobes of the liver is

Main lobar fissure

The portion of the pancreas that lies posterior to the SMA and vein is the

uncinate process

The vessel that courses along the posterior surface of the body and tail of the pancreas is the

splenic vein

Sonographically, the gastroesophageal junction can be visualized

anterior to the aorta and posterior to the left lobe of the liver

Adenomyomatosis of the gallbladder is

proliferation of the mucosal layer which extends into the muscle layer

A common cause of acute pyelonephritis

pyogenic bacteria

A renal sonogram is performed and an echogenic well-defined mass is identified in the renal cortex. This is characteristic of

angiomyolipoma

The gastroduodenal artery is a branch of the

common hepatic artery

The largest zone of the prostate is the

peripheral zone

Identify the vessel that is seen anterior to the aorta and posterior to the SMA

left renal vein

The liver is covered by a thick membrane of collagenous fibers intermixed with elastic elements. This membrane is called the

Glission's Capsule

Anterior displacement of the splenic vein can be caused by

left adrenal hyperplasia

The vessel that originates from the celiac exis and is very tortuous is the

splenic artery

When accessory spleens are present, they are usually located

near the splenic hilum

A fold at the fundal portion of the GB is usually called

Phrygian Cap

The IVC forms at the confluence of the

right and left common iliac veins

Diffuse thickening of the gallbladder wall can be seen sonographically in all of the following except

portal hypertension
(can be seen in acute cholecystitis, hepatitis, congestive heart failure, and ascites)

A GB sonographic exam is performed, and a small GB with intrahepatic dilation is see, this may indicate that the level of obstruction is at the level of the

common hepatic duct

The max inner diameter of the main pancreatic duct in young adults is

2 mm

The endocrine function of the pancreas produces

insulin

Identify the lab test used to access renal function

serum creatinine

Adult polycystic disease may be characterized by all of the following except

bilateral small and echogenic kidneys
(can be characterized by autosomal dominant disease, cysts in the liver, pancreas, and spleen, doesn't produce any symptoms until the 3rd or 4th decade, or kidneys lose their reniform shape)

The best sonographic window to image the left hemidiaphragm is the

spleen

A patient in the late stages of sickle cell anemia will have a spleen that is

small and echogenic

Bilateral hydronephrosis frequently occurs in patients with

prostate englargement

In a patient with acute hepatitis, the liver parenchyma sonographically appears as

normal

A hypertrophied column of Bertin is a

renal variant

A uterovesical junction is

junction between the distal ureter and the base of the bladder

The landmark for the posterolateral border of the thyroid is

common carotid artery

Clinical signs of renal disease includes all of the following except

Jaundice
(includes oliguria, palpable flank mass, generalized edema, and hypertension)

Acute hydroceles may be caused by all of the following except

testicular torsion
(includes infarction, tumor, trauma, and infection of the testis or epididymis)

The most common location for a spermatocele is

head of the epididymis

A 60 yr old man presents with hematuria and nocturnal urination. The ultrasound findings include an enlarged symmetrical homogenous prostate. This is most characteristic of

benign prostatic hyperplasia

The most common malignancy of the adrenal gland in children is

adrenal neuroblastoma

If a mass in the area of the pancreatic head is found, what other structure should be examine sonographically

The liver
