Abstract: Objective To investigate the application values of B-mode ultrasonography , IVU and spiral CT urography (CTU) in duplication of kidney and ureter. Methods Data of the results from B-mode ultrasonography , IVU and spiral CTU on 85 cases with duplication of renal pelvis and ureter were retrospectively analyzed. Results The diagnostic accordance rates of B-mode ultrasonography , IVU and spiral CTU for duplication of kidney and ureter were 44.7%, 60.0% and 100%, respectively. CTU examination and image post-processing could clearly display the locations and degrees of dilatation or obstruction in duplication of kidney and ureter, and could also display the ectopic location and assess renal function. Conclusion The diagnostic accuracy rate of CTU examination and image post-processing for duplication of kidney and ureter is higher than those of B-mode ultrasonography and IVU.
