Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A KUB (kidneys, ureters, bladder) radiographic image is done without the use of a contrast medium to show the size, shape, and position of these structures. HD (hemodialysis) and CAPD (continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis) are treatments for kidney failure, not imaging procedures. IVU (intravenous urography) is a radiographic procedure that involves injecting a contrast medium into a vein to visualize the urinary system, but this was not specified in the question.
