BACKGROUND Renomegaly is easily picked up by ultrasound examination. Improved computer technology led to improved resolution which further made Ultrasonography the 1 st line of investigation in the evaluation of renomegaly. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a cross sectional study of renomegaly in rural patients who attended SRGH as in patients or out patients with renomegaly. Only previously diagnosed and operated cases were excluded. RESULTS Hydronephrosis was the most common condition and lymphoma was least common condition. CONCLUSION Ultrasonography is a very effective modality in diagnosis of renomegaly. Characterization of renal masses into solid or cystic is excellent.

BACKGROUND Hydatid disease is one of the most common surgical conditions in Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh. Ultrasonography is the initial investigation of choice in detecting and characterizing the disease. Ultrasound plays important role in selection of cases for surgery by ruling out secondary infection and other complications. METHODS The present study was done at Santhiram Medical College and General Hospital, from January 2016 to November 2018. Patients with suspected abdominal masses were screened with ultrasound to detect hydatid disease. Ultrasound diagnosis was correlated with lab tests and surgery findings. Post-operative follow-up was also done in some cases. During ultrasound, cyst characterisation was done. The present study consists of thirty-five cases of hydatid disease. Tehe study was done and analysed organ wise. Multiplicity of cysts was noted. RESULTS Out of 35 cases, 21 were males and 14 were males. Organ wise distribution showed 28 cases in liver, 3 cases in spleen, one case in kidney, 2 cases in peritoneal cavity and one in the retroperitoneum. More cases were seen in 4 th and 5 th decades by age wise distribution. CONCLUSIONS Ultrasound is non-invasive, simple and inexpensive modality and is very sensitive for detection of hydatid disease.

BACKGROUND A prospective clinical study to know the various types of congenital Neuroectodermal Anomalies on obstetric Ultrasound, in rural pregnant women. To reduce the maternal morbidity and mortality by early detection of these Congenital Neuroectodermal Anomalies. To calculate the incidence and prevalence of different types of Congenital Neuroectodermal Anomalies, in these rural pregnant women. To assist the obstetrician in taking decisions regarding the termination or continuation of the pregnancy in relation to the type of malformation and its prognosis. METHODS A prospective clinical study of Congenital Neuroectodermal Anomalies in 22,000 rural pregnant women coming to the Santhiram Medical College, Radiology Department for a routine obstetric scan. 44 cases of neuroectodermal anomalies were detected out of the 22000 cases, within an incidence of 2 per 1000 cases. Approximately 1 in every 500 cases showed an anomaly. RESULTS The most common lesions detected were hydrocephalus, and spina bifida followed by anencephaly. Association of these lesions with consanguinity, previous history of similar anomaly and intake of iron and folic acid tablets was noted. CONCLUSION Ultrasound is an excellent modality for the diagnosis and characterisation of the neuroectodermal anomalies. Its multiplanar imaging property along with real time image visualisation make it an excellent tool for the diagnosis and characterisation of these anomalies.
