1
New cards
Which retrograde urography projections are specifically listed on the ARRT outline?
AP scout, AP pyelogram, and AP ureterogram.
2
New cards
What should the AP scout demonstrate before retrograde contrast filling?
Ureteral catheters in position.
3
New cards
What is the purpose of the AP pyelogram in retrograde urography?
To demonstrate the renal pelvis and calyces filled with contrast.
4
New cards
What anatomy is the primary focus of an AP retrograde ureterogram?
The ureters.
5
New cards
What breathing instruction is used for retrograde pyelogram and ureterogram exposures?
Suspend respiration at the end of expiration.
6
New cards
A retrograde image demonstrates contrast-filled renal pelves and calyces. Which image was most likely performed?
AP pyelogram.
7
New cards
A retrograde image primarily demonstrates the contrast-filled ureters. Which image was most likely performed?
AP ureterogram.
8
New cards
How can the AP pyelogram and AP ureterogram be distinguished?
Pyelogram emphasizes renal pelvis/calyces; ureterogram emphasizes ureters.
9
New cards
According to the Merrill’s material reviewed, why may the table head be lowered 10–15° for a retrograde pyelogram?
To help retain contrast in the renal pelvis and reduce escape into the ureters.
10
New cards
According to Merrill’s, why may the table head be elevated for the ureterogram?
To better demonstrate the ureters and their course.
11
New cards
Which retrograde views from Merrill’s should receive the most study time for ARRT?
AP scout, AP pyelogram, and AP ureterogram.
