Computed tomography urography with corticomedullary phase can exclude urinary bladder cancer with high accuracy

Bilateral spontaneous urinary extravasation shown by computed tomography urography in a patient with benign prostatic hyperplasia

Spontaneous extravasation of urine (SUE) is a rare urologic manifestation. Predisposing conditions of SUE include ureteric calculus, retrograde pyelography, pregnancy, abdominal aorta aneurysm, tumors, or enlargement of the prostate gland. Usually, SUE is a self-limiting condition that mandates differentiaton from other catastrophic conditions of pelviureteric ruptures. Most reported cases of S...

Evaluation of Obstructive Uropathy with Computed Tomography Urography and Magnetic Resonance Urography - A Clinicoradiological study

Patients with computed tomography-proven acute diverticulitis require follow-up to exclude colorectal cancer

BACKGROUND/AIMS Traditionally, patients with acute diverticulitis undergo follow-up endoscopy to exclude colorectal cancer (CRC). However, its usefulness has been debated in this era of high-resolution computed tomography (CT) diagnosis. We assessed the frequency and outcome of endoscopic follow-up for patients with CT-proven acute diverticulitis, according to the confidence in the CT diagnosis...

Dual phase 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography with forced diuresis in diagnostic imaging evaluation of bladder cancer.

INTRODUCTION (18)F-FDG PET has been regarded as a limited value in urooncology due to urinary excretion of the tracer. The purpose of this retrospective study was to investigate the clinical value of dual-phase FDG PET/CT with forced diuresis protocol (iv furosemide-voiding and oral hydration) in invasive or high grade bladder cancer. METHODS Fifty-one patients were included in this study. Al...
