(a) Sagittal left kidney: echogenic pyramids, punctuate hyperechoic foci in cortex, comet tail artifact (black arrow outlined in white), and small cyst with through transmission (white arrow with black outline). (b) Sagittal left kidney: echogenic pyramids with many punctuate hyperechogenicities. Two tiny sonolucent cysts with through transmission (black arrows with white outlines). (c) Sagittal right kidney: many punctuate cortical hyperechogenicities. (d) Transverse right kidney: generally increased cortical echogenicity (star) relative to adjacent liver (triangle).
