Hi,

Pelvicalyectasis in ultrasound means mild fullness of the collecting system of the kidneys and can be seen in chronic UTI.

Lobulated contour is a non-specific term and used for the appearance of the kidney. Some people can have normal kidneys showing lobulated contours.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Vivek Chail, Radiologist
