    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Urology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Intravenous urography is a key diagnostic tool in urology.
    • Optimizing image quality, such as Calyceal distension, is crucial for accurate diagnosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of ureteric compression in improving Calyceal distension during intravenous urography.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective randomized trial comparing intravenous urography with and without ureteric compression.
    • Assessment of Calyceal distension improvement in both groups.
    • Analysis of results based on patient weight and girth.

    Main Results:

    • Improved Calyceal distension was observed in 68% of kidneys with ureteric compression versus 43% without.

  • A significant trend towards improved distension was noted in heavier patients.

    • Conclusions:

    • Ureteric compression is a valuable adjunct for enhancing Calyceal distension in intravenous urography.
    • The technique shows particular benefit in heavier individuals, potentially improving diagnostic yield.
