Imaging in Reconstructive Urology
Each imaging modality answers a different clinical question. The pages below cover indications, technique, interpretation and pitfalls for each modality used in functional and reconstructive urology practice.
- Radiation SafetyProtecting yourself and your team from radiation during fluoroscopy.
- RUG & VCUGRetrograde and voiding urethrography: technique, stricture interpretation, the combined study for PFUI, VUR grading and post-urethroplasty surveillance
- CystographyCT and fluoroscopic cystography for bladder trauma, VCUG, RNC and ceVUS for VUR, augmented-bladder perforation, colovesical fistula, follow-up after bladder repair
- MRISelected PFUI and complex pelvic-floor imaging, urethral diverticulum, fistula mapping, VI-RADS, and MR urography
- UltrasoundSonourethrography and its limits in fibrosis assessment, renal ultrasound, selected pelvic-floor imaging, and penile duplex
- Penile Doppler Ultrasound & CavernosometryPenile blood-flow testing for erectile dysfunction and Peyronie's disease, and how to interpret it.
