Abstract
In the past few years, radiologists have begun to design a single imaging test to thoroughly evaluate the urinary tract. Multidetector computed tomography urography (MDCTU) is a novel imaging technique that provides high-resolution images of the entire renal collecting system in a single helical run. This technique lends itself to creating detailed 3-dimensional urograms. Combining the known strengths of CT axial data and the 3-dimensional urograms can provide a comprehensive evaluation of the genitourinary tract.
