A member asked:
Had a kidney u/s today. did the right side while i was on my back, did the left while i was on my right side. thought i should be on my belly, no?

Ultrasound: This technique is reasonable. Kidneys are up under ribs, so imaging while on your belly makes the ribs block the image. Placing you on your back or side for the kidney images is standard technique.
