Diagnostic value of spiral CT in diseases of urological system

Objective: To investigate the value of spiral CT in the diagnosis of urological diseases. Methods: Nineteen typical patients suffering from urological diseases, including 4 with ureter upper section stricture, 3 with ureter lower section stricture, 3 with dupplication of ureter and pelvis, 2 with ureter tumor, 3 kidney tuberculosis, 2 with bladder cancer,and 2 with kidney tumor,were studied. Intravenous urograph (IVU), B-model ulbrasound scanning (B-us) and spiral CT were applied in the diagnosis process of all patients. Results: Spiral CT got 2- or 3-dimensional pictures of diseases, showed more direct and complete screenage data, and offered information of the size and locus of the lesion as well as its relation with surrounding tissues. Conclusion: Spiral CT can conveniently show pictures of urological diseases with high quality. Compared with IVU and B-us, it has more value in the diagnosis and clinical treatment of urological diseases.
