Summary

Advancements in uroradiological imaging, including multidetector helical computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), enhance diagnostic capabilities for urological conditions. These techniques provide high-quality 3-D reconstructions and improved evaluations for oncology, pediatrics, and stone disease.
