Abstract
Computerized tomographic urography exhibited a significantly higher sensitivity than conventional excretory urography in detecting upper tract pathology (94.1% vs 50%). However, sensitivity for detecting lower tract lesions was low (40% or less), suggesting that computerized tomographic urography offers a comprehensive alternative to excretory urography but does not obviate the need for adjunctive cystourethroscopy for accurate evaluation of the lower urinary tract.
