No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Tumors of the UUT are rare and usually presenting as micro- or macrohematuria either symptomatic or asymptomatic. Rapid advances in CT technology accelerated the research into the application of this new technology in the evaluation of the UUT and readily proved to be superior to other imaging modalities. Nevertheless the increase in radiation dose is a major issue of concern. Initial research into the utility of MRI in the evaluation of the UUT was promising, yet the success of CT together with the cost, limited availability and the longer duration of MR urography (MRU) examination, nearly halted the investigations into the feasibility of MRU which is unfortunate as MRU is a safe alternative to CT.
