| Popis: | Over the past decade, computed tomographic (CT) urography has emerged as the primary imaging modality for evaluating the urinary tract in various clinical settings, including the initial workup of hematuria. With the widespread implementation of CT urography, it is critical for radiologists to understand normal ureteral anatomy and the varied appearance of pathologic ureteral conditions at CT urography. Pathologic findings at CT urography include congenital abnormalities, filling defects, dilatation, narrowing, and deviations in course. These abnormalities are reviewed, along with the indications for CT urography, current imaging protocols with specific techniques for optimal evaluation of the ureter, and dose reduction strategies. |
