Magnetic resonance (MR) urography has an expanding role as a problem solving tool in treated cancer. Hydronephrosis is common with abdominopelvic neoplasms and whilst the majority are satisfactorily investigated by urography, ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), invasive imaging or endourological techniques, some hydronephroses remain unexplained. These may occur in patients with renal im...

AIM The aim of this study is to prove the advantages of combined use of T2 weighted three dimensional (T2 W 3D) and T1 weighted three dimensional contrast medium enhanced (T1 W 3D CE) magnetic resonance (MR) urography in displaying urinary tract in child population. MATERIAL AND METHODS Total of 120 patients were included in the study, 71 (59%) male patients and 49 (41%) female patients. The ...

Introduction. MR urography has been used satisfactorily to evaluate kidneys, pelvicaliceal system, ureters and bladder, this technique has the advantage of not using ionizing radiation and also the potential to provide functional information as CT or even more. Case report. We present a case of a 25-years-old pregnant woman with right lumbar pain and probable urolithiasis, the static fluid MR u...

BACKGROUND Conventional X-ray urography is one of the basic imaging techniques in urinary tract diseases in children. CT urography (CTU) employing standard Filtered Back Projection (FBP) reconstruction algorithms is connected with higher radiation dose. Advanced iterative reconstruction techniques enable lowering the radiation dose to the level comparable with conventional X-ray urography with ...

OBJECTIVE To assess multidetector-row computed tomographic (MDCT) urography for detection of recurrence of bladder tumor after transurethral resection (TUR), and to assess significance of the MDCT findings like urothelial enhancement or thickening as a recurrence. METHODS A total of 216 MDCT urography examinations were performed for 100 patients undergoing follow-up after TURs were reviewed b...

OBJECTIVES To compare ultrasonography and abdominal radiography with intravenous urography in the investigation of urinary tract infection in men. DESIGN Prospective study in two hospital departments. Radiological procedures and urological assessments performed on different days by different clinicians SETTING District general hospital. PARTICIPANTS Consecutive series of men (n=114) refer...
