Popis: Radiology, like most other fields of medicine and science, has seen substantial advancement and change with the continuing growth of technology. The first 75 years of urological imaging were performed with plain-film radiography and the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s saw the introduction and then widespread usage of sonography (ultrasound), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and radionuclide imaging. Urological imaging has benefited from these advances with a more precise ability to diagnose and evaluate genitourinary disorders without surgical exploration.
