R adio logical investigations of urinary system
There are 4 main radiological Ix: 1 —IVU: Intravenous urography. 2- U/S 3-CT scan 4-Radioisotope scan. Others (not frequently used): MRI, arteriography, antegrade or retrograde pyelogram.

ULTRASOUND
Non invasive. cheap &easy Indication : 1. Patient with urinary symptoms. 2. Follow-up after lithotripsy 3. Patient with renal transplant to check rejection, stone & hydronephrosis. 4. Renal failure
5. Patient with recurrent UTI (in children) to diagnose reflux.

CT SCAN
Used for 1. Staging of tumor. 2. Detection of radiolucent stones (xanthine & uric acid stones). 3. Retroperitoneal mass, fibrosis 4. Sagittal reformal (to see kidney in lateral viewer), coronal reformat. 5. Renal trauma (bleeding, hernatoma). in CT scan we 1 take a plain CT without contrast to see if there’s calcification.

RADIO-IOSOTOPE
mainly for function of the kidney or when we can't do IVU. We inject Tc 99 DFPA intraenously & only the functioning part of the kidney will appear.

MRI
Two main indications 1. Renal vasculature before transplant for both the donor & recipient. 2. Renal artery stenosis (5 mm normally) with post stenotic dilation If we want to do operation, we do angiography also.
