The transmission of ultrasonic waves through the renal parenchyma allows for visualization of the renal parenchyma and renal pelvis without exposing them to external beam radiation or radioactive isotopes.Computed tomography uses external radiation and sometimes a contrast medium.Intravenous pyelography uses contrast medium and external radiation for x-ray films,with contrast medium injected into the bladder through the urethral opening.External radiation for x-ray films is used before,during,and after voiding.
