Value of Magnetic Resonance Urography Versus Computerized Tomography Urography (CTU) in Evaluation of Obstructive Uropathy: An Observational Study

Value of Magnetic Resonance Urography Versus Computerized Tomography Urography (CTU) in Evaluation of Obstructive Uropathy: An Observational Study

Background Obstructive uropathy is a common public health issue that requires imaging research for providing necessary information. The data is important for determining treatment options, and may influence selective management choices. Objective The aim of the study is to determine whether magnetic resonance urography or computerized tomography urography is the best imaging modality among pa...

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...

[Reference to the article "Use of urography by magnetic resonance for the study of the urinary apparatus versus conventional urography"].

UNLABELLED Conventional urography (IVU) is an essential examination for the assessment of urinary tract but it is not free of complications, such as adverse reactions to contrast agents used (vasovagal and anaphylactic reactions), neurotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, as well as the damage due to the ionizing irradiation applied to the patient. For this reason, alternative imaging techniques such as m...

Magnetic resonance urography in children – when and why?

BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to determine the potential of magnetic resonance urography (MRU) in evaluation of paediatric urinary tract pathologies. PATIENTS AND METHODS.: Twenty-one paediatric urological patients were evaluated with T1, T2 prior and after and 3D gradient echo sequences after the contrast administration. Results were compared with findings obtained with ultrasound which...
