Transitional cell carcinoma of the upper urinary tract: spectrum of imaging findings.
Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) accounts for up to 10% of neoplasms of the upper urinary tract and usually manifests as hematuria. Imaging plays an important role in assessment of upper tract disease, unlike in bladder TCC, diagnosis of which is usually made at cystoscopy. Traditional imaging modalities, such as excretory urography, retrograde pyelography, and ultrasonography, still play pivo...
متن کاملMultislice computed tomography urography in the diagnosis of urinary tract diseases.
BACKGROUND/AIM . Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) has triggered considerable changes in uroradiological imaging. The aim of this study was to establish the place of MSCT urography (MSCTU) in comparison with intravenous urography (IVU) and to determine the sensitivity and specificity of MSCT in the evaluation of urothelial abnormalities. METHODS This prospective study included 120 patient...
متن کاملComputed Tomographic urography - A boon to renal enigma
Objective: Patients with suspected urinary tract disease are often referred for multiple studies such as excretory urography (EU), ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). With the recent development of multislice helical CT, many institutions have started to evaluate the use of CT as a single imaging test that partially or completely replaces EU. This stud...
متن کاملMulti-detector row CT urography in the evaluation of hematuria.
Hematuria can be well evaluated with a comprehensive contrast material-enhanced multi-detector row computed tomography (CT) protocol that combines unenhanced, nephrographic-phase, and excretory-phase imaging. Unenhanced images are obtained from the kidneys to the bladder and allow optimal detection of renal calculi, a common cause of hematuria. Renal parenchymal abnormalities, particularly mass...
متن کاملSplit-bolus MDCT urography: Upper tract opacification and performance for upper tract tumors in patients with hematuria.
OBJECTIVE Our purpose was to assess upper urinary tract opacification and the performance of split-bolus MDCT urography for upper tract tumors in patients with hematuria. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between January 2004 and December 2006, we identified 200 patients (119 men, 81 women; median age, 58 years, age range, 18-89 years) who underwent MDCT urography for hematuria. MDCT urography included u...
