KUB’s and IVP’s
Kristopher R. Carlson
2009
KUB
• Kubota Corporation
• Knoxville Utilities Board
• Kidneys, Ureters, Bladder
• Katholieke Universiteit Brabant
KIDNEYS, URETERS, BLADDER
A little physics• Closer to film = smaller• Closer to beam = larger
• Radiation vs background:• CXR= 0.01 - 1.30 mSv. = 5-15d• AXR - 0.12 - 9.90 mSv. = 2-3m• IVP = 3 mSv = 0.5-1.5 years• CT abdomen = 10 mSv + = 3-5 years• Coast to Coast Airplane Ride = 0.01mSv

KUB = Kidneys, Ureters, Bladder
• Adequacy• Adrenals to 2cm below pubic
symphysis
• Bones, Stones, Masses, Gasses
• Abnormal Calcifications• Renal, ureteral, gallstones, tumors, etc.
• Foreign Objects• It’s amazing what people can do with
things and their orifices.
KUB, how to look at em.
• Get a System.
• #1 = Name and Date!!!
• Quality, penetration, pt position
• OutsideIn, vs. InsideOut
• Look at everything.
Anatomy, the basics
Anatomy
PSOAS• Position
• Size
• Orientation
• Axis
• Symmetry
Position
• Normally T12-L3
• R lower than L• R = L1 – L3• L = T12 – L2/3
Size
• Normal adult • 10-13cm
• Children• Use normogram
Orientation and Axis
Bones
• Fractures• Vertebral Bodies pelvis, etc..
• Metastases• Lytic or blastic lesions
• Absence of bones• Sacral agenesis
• Diastasis• Symphysis, SI joints
Vertebrae
Pelvic Fractures
Mets
Not METS
Missing bones
Extra Bones
Stones
• Overlying kidney/ureter/bladder• Kidneys• PSOAS mnemonic• Position, Size, Orientation, Axis, Symmetry
• Course of ureters• Lateral transverse processes
• Other Stones / Calcifications
Masses
• Renal contour
• Soft tissue densities
• Psoas shadows
• Displacement of normal structures
Colonic hydatid cyst
Gases
• Bowel gas• Distribution / location
• Gas filled fluid collections
• Gas in the wrong place
• Free air• Hemi diaphragms.• Better with upright CXR
Abnormal Calcifications / Objects
• Multiple?
• Foreign bodies• Iatrogenic • surgical clips, IUDs, IVC filters
• Accidental• Bullets, swallowed items!
• Projectional• Clothing, body piercings
Whew…..Had enough?
IVP’s?
IVP = IntraVenous Pyelogram
• Timed series of images of the abdomen after administration of 50-100mL IV contrast.• Scout Film• Early Nephrogram Films• Tomograms• Excretion Films
Pre-Exam Considerations
• Bowel prep?• Useful in the chronically constipated• No randomized study to prove effective
• Hydration• Increased contrast if dehydrated• Increased risk of injury
Contrast Media
• Ionic (high osmolar) Contrast Media• Hypaque, Conray, Renograffin• Hypertonic to serum by 5 to 7 fold
• Low Osmolar Contrast Media• Omnipaque, Visipaque• 50% reduction in osmolality
Contrast Media• Indications for Low Osmolar Contrast• Previous reaction to contrast• History of Asthma or Allergy• History of Cardiac Disease or Dysfunction• Generalized Debilitation• Blood Dyscrasias• Risk of Aspiration• Age < 1 year
Adverse effects of contrast• Chemotoxic• Nephrotoxicity• Nonoliguric• Creatinine peaks in 3-5 days• Risk 1 in 1000-5000 if no risk factors• Risk factors: renal insufficiency, DM, CHF,
hyperuricemia, proteinuria, multiple doses of contrast• Metformin (Glucophage) overdose causes
lactic acidosis withhold for 48 hours after contrast
• Anaphylactoid / Idiosyncratic
Adverse effects of contrast• Anaphylactoid / Idiosyncratic• Mild: metallic taste, warmth, sneezing, coughing,
mild hives no treatment• Moderate: vomiting, severe hives, HA, palpitations,
facial edema• Severe: hypotension, bronchospasm, laryngeal
edema, pulmonary edema, LOC
• Idiosyncratic rxns for ionic contrast = as high as 12%, most mild.
• Tx with Antihistamine = mild, Epi or beta agonist = severe.
• Non-ionic = 3%
Contrast “Allergic”?
• Consider non-allergenic imaging\
• Prophylaxis:• Prednisone = 50mg PO x 3 doses• 13hrs, 7hrs, 1hr before dose. AND…..
• Benadryl 50mg PO 30 min prior to dose• Other regiments exist.

Scout Film
• KUB as discussed
Early Nephrogram Films
• Most dense at 30 seconds to 1 minute
• Evaluates renal parenchyma
• PSOAS• Masses• Dromedary Hump• Fetal Lobulations
Tomograms• Increase sensitivity
for space occupying lesions
• Midplane in view of L2 vertebral bodies in focus
• Immediate detects parenchyma
• Delayed detects collecting system
Excretion Films• 2 or 3 between 5 and 15 minutes• Need to see collecting system, ureters and
bladder• Oblique views may help to evaluate filling
defects or calcifications• Prone views distend the distal ureter• Upright films may help to evaluate for
renal ptosis, cystoceles, layering stones• Post void films help assess bladder outlet
obstruction
• Kidney• 7-9 papillae, each
cupped by a minor calyx
• Each minor calyx narrows to form an infundibulum
• Minor calyces coalesce to form 2-3 major calyces
• Major calyces coalesce to form the renal pelvis
Stones
Tumors
Other stuff
Trauma
Trauma IVP
• Useful in emergent situations on the table:• 2 mL / kg IV given intraoperatively• Image x 1 at 10 minutes
Summary
• KUB’s and IVP’s provide rapid, low risk, low radiation way to assess a variety of complaints and pathologies.
• Be systematic
• Bones, Stones, Masses, Gases
• PSOAS
• Be aware of contrast and radiation
