    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    A new chart helps determine optimal tomographic levels for excretory urography by measuring abdominal distance. This method successfully visualized the renal contour in 93% of patients, improving diagnostic accuracy.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Excretory urography is a key diagnostic tool for renal evaluation.
    • Accurate tomographic imaging is crucial for visualizing renal structures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a standardized method for selecting optimal tomographic levels during excretory urography.
    • To improve the visualization of the renal contour using anteroposterior abdominal distance.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective and prospective analysis of over 200 patients.
    • Formulation of a chart based on anteroposterior abdominal distance.
    • Evaluation of renal contour visualization quality.

    Main Results:

    • A chart was developed to guide tomographic level selection.

  • The anteroposterior abdominal distance proved an effective criterion.
  • Satisfactory renal contour visualization was achieved in 93% of cases.

    • Conclusions:

    • The proposed chart provides a reliable method for optimizing tomographic levels in excretory urography.
    • This approach enhances the diagnostic quality of renal imaging.
    • Improved renal contour visualization aids in the detection of urinary tract abnormalities.
