Multiple x-ray films are taken as medium is cleared from blood. X-ray of the lower abdomen that defines the size, shape, and location of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. Contrast medium is not used with this x-ray. X-ray visualization of the internal anatomy of renal blood vessels after the injection of a contrast medium. Radioactivity over each kidney is measured as tracer passes through kidney.

Procedure in which sound waves are transmitted into body structures as a small transducer is passed over the patient"s skin.
