THE KIDNEY
Anatomy: normal and ultrasonic (cortex, medulla, humps, column of
Bertin, etc.); technique; renal size and thickness; vascular and
Doppler findings; variants, e.g., congenital (ectopic, absent,
duplex, pelvic, horseshoe, etc.)

GN, nephritides, infection, XGP, general conditions affecting kidney,
end stage

Benign - AML etc
Malignant - primary, secondary, lymphoma, metastasis
Trauma and infection

COLLECTING SYSTEM
Obstruction, duplex systems, tumors, calculi, and ureters etc.

RENAL FAILURE
