CT Urography

CT Urography is a specialized radiological examination that is used to evaluate the urinary tract (kidneys, ureters and bladder). This sophisticated technology uses computed tomography (CT) which produces cross sectional images throughout the body. Detailed images of the internal organs allow physicians to make decisions on the correct course of action to take.

The two main reasons to undergo this procedure are to detect kidney stones and to evaluate patients with blood in their urine. Kidney stones are relatively common, and cause problems for patients when they block or obstruct the renal collecting system (ureter). This causes intense pain for the patient and should be assessed right away.  Blood in the urine (hematuria) should be dealt with immediately as well. Even if there is no pain, be sure to see a physician right away.

There are no significant risks associated with this type of procedure.
