Question

which of the following abbreviations is an x - ray of the renal pelvis?
a esrd
b kub
c bno
d ivp

Explanation:

• ESRD: End - Stage Renal Disease, a medical condition, not an X - ray.
• KUB: Stands for Kidney, Ureter, Bladder. It is an X - ray that can show the renal pelvis (as part of the kidney), along with the ureter and bladder.
• BNO: Not a standard radiology - related abbreviation for an X - ray of the renal pelvis.
• IVP: Intravenous Pyelogram. While it also involves imaging the urinary tract (including the renal pelvis), it is more of a contrast - enhanced study (not just a simple X - ray in the same sense as KUB which can be a plain X - ray).

Answer:

B. KUB
