2. Tumor: able to check whether there are tumors of large size in the urinary system, such as tumors of the kidney, ureteral tumors, bladder tumors or urethral tumors, and so on.
3. Urological malformation: it can check whether there is malformation in the urinary system, such as patients with duplicated kidney malformation, ureteral atresia, bladder, urethra and other malformations.
