Grey scale ultrasound provides a valuable non-invasive method of investigating the kidneys. It is usually a complementary examination to intravenous urography. When the ultrasonic findings are considered along with the clinical history, the results of the urogram and the results of any other relevant investigations then an accurate diagnosis can often be made. Ultrasound is of particular value in the investigation of renal masses, the non-functioning kidney, perinephric fluid collections, patients in renal failure and in the post-operative assessment of renal transplant patients.
灰阶超声提供了一种有价值的无创肾脏检查方法。它通常是静脉尿路造影的补充检查。当结合临床病史、尿路造影结果及任何其他相关检查结果来考虑超声检查结果时，往往能够做出准确的诊断。超声在肾肿块、无功能肾、肾周液性聚集、肾衰竭患者以及肾移植患者术后评估的检查中具有特殊价值。
