Magnetic Resonance Urography in Patients with NonContributory Intravenous Urography

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...

Magnetic resonance urography in duplex kidney with ectopic ureteral insertion

This is a report on the use of magnetic resonance urography (MRU) in a 6-year-old girl who presented with urinary incontinence. She had a left duplex kidney with poorly functioning upper moiety and ectopic insertion of the dilated upper pole ureter. MRU has been shown to be superior to conventional imaging techniques in delineating poorly functioning moieties of duplex kidneys and ectopic ureters.

Intravenous urography and childhood trauma.

Emergency intravenous urography is considered an essential examination in the evaluation of any patient suspected of having suffered renal trauma (Editorial, 1979). This practice is derived from clinical experience in adults. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the need for emergency urography in children, particularly those suffering from only minor renal trauma. It is based on a retrospe...

Gallbladder visualisation after intravenous urography.

DESCRIPTION A 42-year-old man presented to the Emergency Department with a sudden onset of right renal colic. Physical examination showed knocking tenderness on the rightsided costovertebral angle. Laboratory evaluation was unremarkable except haematuria on urinalysis. Abdominal radiography of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder (KUB) was negative. Intravenous urography, using 50 ml of 76% amidot...
