Comparative analysis and interobserver variation of unenhanced computed tomography and intravenous urography in the diagnosis of acute flank pain.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to compare unenhanced computed tomography (UECT) to intravenous urography (IVU) for detecting urinary tract calculi, signs of obstruction and non-renal causes in the assessment of acute flank pain, and in their interobserver agreement. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this prospective study, carried out at a university hospital over a period of 1 year, 36 patie...

متن کاملProspective comparison of unenhanced spiral computed tomography and intravenous urography in the evaluation of acute renal colic.
BACKGROUND The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the feasibility of replacing intravenous urography (IVU) with unenhanced computed tomography (CT) as the first line diagnostic modality for acute renal colic in the emergency department. METHODS In the 1-year study period, 82 patients who presented themselves to the emergency room with acute renal colic and who were suspected to...
متن کاملComparison 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...
