New Techniques in Uroradiology discusses the use of ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and radioisotopes in the imaging of the adult and pediatric urinary tract.

Features:

• Illustrates the utilization of the most recent imaging technologies for interventional urological procedures
• Emphasizes the importance of helical CT in the diagnosis and study of urinary tract stones and renal cysts
• Demonstrates the modern use of imaging devices for the planning of nephron sparing surgery and the management of patients with renal artery stenosis
• Stresses the safety of water soluble contrast media for the imaging of the urinary tract
• Spans state-of-the-art imaging strategies for the study of urologic cancers, the biology of prostate growth, kidney and bladder function, and other urologic disorders
