What a retroperitoneal ultrasound shows

A retroperitoneal ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves, not ionizing radiation, to image the kidneys, ureters, adrenal region, abdominal aorta, inferior vena cava and retroperitoneal lymph nodes. It is painless, requires no injection and is safe to repeat as often as your provider needs. The study is commonly used to evaluate:

  • Hydronephrosis and urinary obstruction
  • Kidney stones and renal cysts
  • Abdominal aortic aneurysm
  • Inferior vena cava abnormalities
  • Enlarged retroperitoneal lymph nodes
  • Adrenal region masses
