A woman aged 31 had recurrent urinary tract infection with bloody urine. A series image of medullary sponge kidney presented by intravenous urography (IVU) was detected dynamically by retrograde pyelography (RP). Other than ultrasonography and IVU, RP is also a reliable method to detect medullary sponge kidney.

This work aimed to standardize and state” the insufficiencies outlined variation in image quality, among some hospitals Sudan for a common specific radiologic examinations. A subjective evaluation of 1,103 reproductions from “363 special procedures including Intravenous Urography (IVU), Hysterosalpingography (HSG), GIT barium studies” Micturating Cystourethrography (MCUG), Ent...

INTRODUCTION This study aimed to ascertain whether nonopacified kidney on excretory urography (also known as intravenous urography [IVU]) indicates nonsalvageability. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 45 adult patients with chronic unilateral urinary tract obstruction, in whom IVU revealed nonopacified kidney on one side but normal excretion on the contralateral side. Affected kidneys with ...

The objective of this study was to compare Magnetic Resonance Urography (MRU) with Intravenous Pyelography (IVP) in evaluation of patients with hydronephrosis on ultrasonography. 49 patients of hydronephrosis on USG were enrolled for the study from Jan. 2011 to Dec. 2012. All patients under went Intravenous Urography (IVU). MRU was done to determine the anatomical details and function of each r...

PURPOSE To evaluate several protocols for depiction of the urinary collecting system with multi-detector row computed tomographic (CT) urography. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-one patients with hematuria or a suspicious renal mass underwent CT urography, during which thinly collimated (1-mm) pyelographic phase scanning was performed 8-10 minutes after contrast medium administration. Patients we...

A pilot study was done in 18 adults to assess the significance of ureteral dilatation having no apparent cause seen on Intravenous Urography (IVU). A clinicoradiological evaluation was undertaken to evaluate the cause of ureteral dilatation, including laboratory investigations and sonography of the genitourinary tract. This was followed, if required, by CT Urography (using a modified technique)...

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...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of plain spiral computed tomographic (CT) scan with intravenous urography (IVU) in the evaluation of patients with suspected urinary calculi/obstruction. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty consecutive patients with acute signs of renal colic were prospectively examined with unenhanced spiral CT followed by an IVU within the same day....

Introduction:Intravenous urography (IVU) test includes high number of images and extended imaging size. These make IVU as a diagnostic method with high absorbed doses by sensitive organs such as intestine and gonads in pelvic-abdominal area. In this study absorbed doses of pelvic-abdomen sensitive organs such as Adrenal, Bladder, Colon and Gonads in IVU test. <stron...
