Approach to IVP Interpretation

Michael P. D'Alessandro, M.D.
Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed


DDX:

Approach/Discussion:
Inspect the scout film, looking for any abnormal calcifications projecting within the abdomen such as renal stones or bladder stones.

On the immediate film, look to make sure there are prompt, symetrical nephrograms.

On the delayed films, inspect the collecting systems and ureters for dilation or filling defects and see if the renal axes are normally aligned.
