Abstract:
Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate computed tomography urography (CTU) and compared with conventional intravenous urography (IVU) in diagnosis of urological disease. Methods One hundred and sixty-five patients with 111 males and 54 females underwent CTU urography including 78 cases underwent IVU were reviewed in this study. There were 12 cases underwent retrograde pyelography. There were 75 cases of nephrolithiasis and ureterolithiasis, 30 cases of ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO), 30 cases of bladder cancer, 15 cases of pyelogenic cyst and parapelvic cyst, 9 cases of megaloureter and 6 cases of cancer in pelvis and ureter. Results The accuracy of diagnosis was 94.5% (156/165) in CTU group and 46.7% (42/90) in IVU group.The accuracy of diagnosis was 100.0% (75/75)of nephrolithiasis and ureterolith in CTU group and 78. 6%(33/42)in IVU group, 90.0% (27/30) of UPJO in CTU group, 100.0% (30/30) of bladder cancer in CTU group and 75.0%(9/12)in IVU group, 80.0%(12/15)of pyelogenic cyst and parapelvic cyst in CTU group, 100.0% (9/9)of megaloureter in CTU group, 100.0% (6/6)of cancer in pelvis and ureter in CT group. The displayed rate of the distal end of stenosis and obstruction was 79.4%(81/102)in CTU group and 25.0%(15/60)in IVU group. The examination time was (18.9±8.4)min in CTU group and (67.1±26.7)min in IVU group. Conclusion The CTU can provide more information than conventional IVU and can replace the IVU as routine examination in most cases.
