Fig. 7C. 20-year-old woman at 14 weeks' gestation who presented with
right flank pain. Axial (B) and sagittal (C) half-Fourier
single-shot fast spin-echo images (TR/TE, single shot /62; flip angle,
130°; matrix, 192 x 256; field of view, 31 cm; and slice thickness,
4 mm) obtained 4 days after sonogram show central hypointense filling defect
in mid ureter (arrow, B) but no corresponding filling defect
within ureter (arrow, C) at same level on sagittal image.
Moderate hydronephrosis of right kidney (arrowheads, C) is
seen. Multiple similar filling defects noted at different levels on axial
images were believed to be flow-related artifacts. Patient's symptoms
spontaneously resolved without recurrence. Stone seen on sonogram (A)
is not seen on MR images. Either it passed immediately before MRI was
performed or failed to visualize because of low sensitivity of MR urography
for small stones.
