Preoperative Imaging of Ureteral Stricture (Сase Report)
Abstract
The presented case report shows the abilities of intravenous urography (IVU) and computed tomography urography (CTU) in the diagnosis of ureteral abnormalities, such as ureteral strictures. Both methods provide important diagnostic information, CTU allows volume visualization with the help of 3D-reconstruction technique and is recommended by European Guidelines of Urology as a method of choice for study of the upper urinary tract.
