RESUMEN
Objective To discuss the value of 16-slice spiral CT urography in clinical diagnosis.Methods To compare the images between CR excretory urography,CT and MPR,which are the results of 26 cases who were examined by both CR and 16-slice spiral CT urography.Results From the comparison,it is found that the spiral CT urography images are better than that of the CR excertory urography,and at the same time,the relationship between the parenchyma of the renal,renal pelvis,ureter,bladder and the urinary organs and adjacent structures can be demonstrated clearly.Conclusion The scanning time of the spiral CT is shorter.The machine can not only reconstruct powerfully but also work out better images,and the result is better than CR excretory urography which can not detect some details in its images.Therefore CR excretory urogaphy can be replaced by 16-slice spiral CT urography regardless of its cost.
