Answer to Question 1

D
Ultrasound renal bladder common uses: detect masses, obstruction, presence of hydronephrosis or hydroureter, abnormalities in the bladder wall, calculi, and measure postvoid residual. Common uses of endoscopy include: microscopic hematuria, detect/obtain specimens from bladder tumors, and obstruction of the bladder outlet and urethra. Common uses for IVP include: detect and measure urinary calculi, tumors, hematuria, and obstruction of the urinary tract. Abdominal roentgenogram (plain film; kidney, ureter, bladder KUB or flat plate) are commonly used to detect and measure the size of urinary calculi.

Answer to Question 2

D
Health care providers use the x-ray examination to determine the size, shape, and location of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder structures. It is also useful in visualizing calculi (stones) or tumors in these organs. Common uses of endoscopy include: microscopic hematuria, detect/obtain specimens from bladder tumors, and obstruction of the bladder outlet and urethra. Common uses for IVP include: detect and measure urinary calculi, tumors, hematuria, and obstruction of the urinary tract. Doing an ultrasound renal bladder would detect masses, obstruction, the presence of hydronephrosis or hydroureter, abnormalities in the bladder wall, calculi, and measure postvoid residual.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
