What do you want to look at?

I want to view the:

Kidneys

Bladder & Urethra

The Kidneys• The radiographs on the right

show canine kidneys injected with contrast.

• What is A?

Calyx

Renal Pelvis

• What is B?

Renal Crest

Renal Lobe

• What are C?

Collecting ducts

Renal Arteries

A

B

C

C

Incorrect No, this is not a Calyx! The dog has a uni-lobar kidney, it does not have distinct calyces.

Calyces are most easily seen in Bovine kidneys:

Try Again!

Incorrect No, this is not a Renal Lobe! The dog has a uni-lobar kidney, it does not have distinct Lobes.

Try Again!

Incorrect No, these are not the Collecting Ducts! The collecting ducts are soft tissue structures and are too small to be seen on radiographs.

Try Again!

Correct! Well done! This is the Renal Pelvis. It is where the collecting ducts gather to form the ureter.

Here is another example:

Now try part B

Correct! Well done! This is the Renal Crest. It is the Medulla at the point where it joins the renal pelvis.

Here is another example:

Now try part C

Correct! Well done! These are the Renal Arteries. They supply the kidney with blood to be filtered.

Here are some other examples:

Now try Bladder & Urethra radiographs

The Bladder• The radiographs on the right

show canine bladders injected with contrast.

a) What is the correct order? A, B, C =

Body, Neck, Apex

Neck, Body, Apex

Apex, Body, Neck

A

B

C

Incorrect Sorry, this is not the correct order!

Try Again!

• Yes! This is the correct order. Here is another example of the bladder:

• Now try Urethra radiographs

ApexBody

Neck

The Urethra

A

B

C

The radiographs on the right show the canine urinary system injected with contrast.

a) What sex is the top radiograph? Why?

Male

Female

b) With regard to parts of the Urethra, which is the correct order: A, B, C, D =

Penile, Perineal, Pelvic

Pelvic, Perineal, Penile

Pelvic, Penile, Perineal

c) On the numbered radiograph, which is the urethra?

2

6

7

d) What is 4?

Uterine horn

Internal Iliac artery

Small Intestine

Incorrect No, this dog is not female. The bottom radiograph shows the urinary system of a bitch.

The contrast has entered the reproductive tract:

Try Again!

Correct! • Yes! This is a male dog.

In the bitch the urethra enters the vestibule of the reproductive tract in the pelvis.

• The urethra continues beyond the pelvis in this radiograph.

• Now try part b)

Correct!

• Yes! This is the correct order. Here is the radiograph with labels:

• Now try part c)

Pelvic

Perineal

Penile

Incorrect Sorry, this is not the correct order!

Try Again!

Incorrect No! This is not the Urethra. Number 2 is the

Ureters. They can be seen leaving the kidneys:

Try Again!

Incorrect No! This is not the Urethra. Number 7 is the

Vestibule of the Vulva.

Try Again!

Correct! Yes! 6 is the Urethra. It can be seen passing

between the (empty) bladder and the vestibule:

Try part d)

Incorrect No! This is not the Internal Iliac artery. The

cardiovascular system has not had any contrast injected in this radiograph – blood vessels cannot

be seen.

Try Again!

Incorrect No! This is not the Small Intestine. There is no

contrast in the digestive tract, and the small intestines are located more ventrally:

Try Again!

Correct! Yes! This is a Uterine horn. Although they look

close to the ureters on lateral x-rays, dorso-ventral views show that they lie more laterally:
