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...

BACKGROUND To evaluate the accuracy of helical computerized tomography urography (CTU) in diagnosing urinary tract disease. METHODS We collected 102 patients who underwent CTU from March 2001 to September 2002. The clinical symptoms of these patients included: flank pain or hematuria, which were clinically suggestive of urinary system disorders. All patients received CT scan with or without i...

Ultrasonography is a quick and non-invasive method of evaluating the kidney which cannot be seen on excretory urography. If advanced renal tuberculosis is the reason, then ultrasonography is frequently diagnostic.

Caliceal diverticulum is a rare disorder in which a urine-filled cavity is connected to the renal calix by a narrow isthmus. Treatment of caliceal diverticulum varies depending on the complications, which include recurrent kidney infections, hematuria, and symptomatic calculi. The use of sonography may be insufficient for accurately diagnosing this condition; contrast urography, CT, or both als...

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...

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...

Vesicouterine fistula is an uncommon urogynecological fistula, typically induced following lower uterine segment cesarean section, especially emergency one. The classical clinical features of Youssef’s syndrome are cyclical hematuria, amenorrhea, and urinary continence. index case reported was a 30 year‐old multipara who had two previous sections, underwent third-time section developed incontin...

This study was conducted for comparing the diagnostic rate of CT and IVU for hematuria and establishing a proper diagnostic protocol During the year of 2004, total 32 patients presented with hematuria received both IVU and CT examination. The CT examination included three phase axial scan: noncontrast (phase I), 90 seconds (phase II) and 180 seconds (phase III) after contrast administration and...
