Hyperechoic focal bacterial nephritis: findings on contrast-enhanced Colour Doppler ultrasound

Eur J Ultrasound. 2001 Jul;13(3):201-4. doi: 10.1016/s0929-8266(01)00136-7.

Abstract

We report a case of atypical focal bacterial nephritis (lobar nephronia) simulating a renal mass on gray-scale ultrasound, describing the findings on Colour Doppler ultrasound before and after administration of a galactose-based ultrasound contrast agent.
