What is CT urography?
CT urography is a sophisticated, specialized radiological examination designed to evaluate the urinary tract (kidneys, ureters and bladder) using computed tomography (CT). This exam has been introduced to replace or complement the IVP (or excretory urogram). CT produces slices or cross-sectional images through the body enabling detailed evaluation of the internal organs. The CT urogram is optimally designed to specifically evaluate the urinary tract with the added advantage of visualizing all of the other abdominal and pelvic structures as well.
