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...
متن کاملRole of modern radiological investigations in obstructive uropathy.
Obstructive uropathy in its various forms accounts for much of the work load in urological units and general hospitals. Until recently, laboratory tests and excretion urography were the only procedures available for its assessment. The past few years have seen the development and refinement of ultrasound, examination by computer tomography, nuclear medicine, antegrade pyelography, and perfusion...
متن کاملUrothelial carcinoma in a pyelocaliceal diverticulum discovered by magnetic resonance urography.
Neither computed tomography (CT) nor intravenous pyelography (IVP) alone can diagnose tumors of renal pelvic diverticula, but magnetic resonance urography (MRU) can obtain accurate preoperative information.
متن کاملRadiologic evaluation of hematuria: guidelines from the American College of Radiology's appropriateness criteria.
Hematuria, symptomatic and incidental, that involves more than three red blood cells per high-power field on two of three properly collected urinalysis specimens warrants some type of imaging to evaluate the upper tracts. Traditionally, excretory urography or the intravenous pyelogram has been the mainstay of the hematuria work-up, but computed tomography urography has more recently been recogn...
متن کاملReflux and Obstructive Nephropathy Diagnosis of Obstructive Nephropathy
Nevertheless, obstruction rarely can occur without hydronephrosis, when the ureter and renal pelvis are encased in a fibrotic process and unable to expand. In contrast, mild dilation of the collecting system of no functional significance is not unusual. Even obvious hydronephrosis in some cases may not be associated with functional obstruction [70]. Diuresis renography is helpful when the funct...
