Renal/GU - The Twinkle Artifact

Caption

Ultrasonographic color doppler twinkling artifact is a phenomenon that may aid in the detection of nephrolithiasis. Twinkling artifacts can be seen on color doppler ultrasounds when applied to stationary, highly echogenic objects, generating a false sense of movement on color doppler. The reason this occurs is unclear. Seen here is a left ureterovesicular junction stone with a positive twinkle artifact.
