Comparison of intravenous urography and magnetic resonance urography in preoperative evaluation of pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction in children

Role of Magnetic Resonance Urography (MRU) as a Single Imaging Modality in Evaluation of Patients with Pelvi-Ureteric Junction Obstruction

The objective of this study was to evaluate the Role of MRU as a single imaging modality in evaluation of Pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction. 40 patients of hydronephrosis suspected to have PUJ obstruction were enrolled for the study from May 2010 to Nov. 2012. All patients under went USG, intravenous Urography (IVU), Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) Calculation by Cockcroft-Gault formula and ...

Comparison of Magnetic Resonance Urography (MRU) with Intravenous Pyelography (IVP) in Evaluation of Patients with Hydronephrosis on Ultrasonography Due to Pelvi-Ureteric Junction Obstruction

The objective of this study was to compare Magnetic Resonance Urography (MRU) with Intravenous Pyelography (IVP) in evaluation of patients with hydronephrosis on ultrasonography. 49 patients of hydronephrosis on USG were enrolled for the study from Jan. 2011 to Dec. 2012. All patients under went Intravenous Urography (IVU). MRU was done to determine the anatomical details and function of each r...

Comparison Between Intravenous Urography and Computed Tomography Urography in Diagnosing Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction

We read with interest the article by Xie et al. (1) in a previous issue of Nephro-Urology Monthly (October 2011), regarding the comparison between intravenous urography and computed tomography urography in diagnosing ureteropelvic junction obstruction. As previously described, pathological lesions at the ureteropelvic junction are classified into intrinsic and extrinsic abnormalities. In the ca...

Magnetic Resonance Urography in Patients with Non- Contributory Intravenous Urography

Magnetic Resonance Urography (MRU) is increaingly replacing Intravenous Urography (IVU) which has been the traditional modality for uro-imaging. However, the effectiveness and advantages of this new and costly modality need to be proven before defining its place in the uro-radiological armamentarium. We conducted a prospective study to assess the role of MRU in 100 consecutive cases where IVU w...
