Multi-detector row helical computed tomography (CT) offers new ways to evaluate urologic disease. Two CT urography methods exist, each with benefits and drawbacks, requiring further study for optimal clinical use.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Urology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Multi-detector row helical computed tomography (CT) has advanced urologic disease evaluation.
  • Two primary CT urography techniques have emerged.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe and compare two major CT urography approaches.
  • To highlight the advantages and disadvantages of each technique.

Main Methods:

  • Approach 1: Combines axial CT with timed excretory urography (EU) using conventional, digital radiography, or CT scanned projection radiography (SPR).
  • Approach 2: Integrates axial CT with thin-section excretory phase CT, enabling advanced image reformations.
  • Technological improvements in CT SPR enhance image quality and workflow.

Main Results:

  • Approach 1 provides familiar projection urograms with optional additional CT.
  • Approach 2 utilizes near-isotropic data for high-resolution 2D/3D images.
  • Concerns for Approach 2 include increased radiation dose and data processing time.

Conclusions:

  • Further research with larger patient cohorts and diverse urothelial abnormalities is needed.
  • Determining the optimal CT urography technique for clinical practice requires additional evaluation.
