Imaging the Abdominal Manifestations of Cystic Fibrosis

Figure 3

(a–c) Axial CT images of a 21-year-old female with left renal angle pain on a background of cystic fibrosis. (a) Noncontrast axial CT at the level of the renal hila demonstrates left hydronephrosis. The absence of normal pancreatic tissue and increased attenuation of the liver possibly due to haemosiderin deposition are also evident. (b) Axial CT image below the renal hila demonstrating a nonobstructing calculus in the right renal pelvis and left hydroureter. (c) Axial CT image at the level of the bladder demonstrating an obstructing left lower ureteric calculus.
