Abstract:
The introduction of multislice computed tomography with its well-known advantages has made it possible to visualize the entire urinary tract with thin collimation during a breath-holding phase. CT data acquisition during urographic contrast enhancement for contiguous imaging of the entire upper urinary tract is termed "multislice CT urography" (MSCTU). Multiplanar reconstructions, maximum intensity projections, and average intensity projections can be rendered from the volume datasets to view the urogenital tract. MSCTU will play an important role in the future of modern uroradiology. This article describes the technical aspects involved in the course of the MSCTU examination and identifies additional potential indications for clinical application.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
