Assessment of ureteric diameter using contrast-enhanced helical abdominal computed tomography
Background Assessment of ureteric size is imperative for diagnosis of urinary tract abnormalities especially with regard to obstructive pathologies. The ureteric opacification and distension obtained from contrast-enhanced computed tomography allows for ...

Helical/spiral computed body tomography
Summary Helical CT has profound implications for routine imaging in the chest and abdomen as well for specialized imaging of hollow organs and blood vessels. The ability to image the chest or abdomen in a single breath and to review overlapping images retrospectively has improved our ability to detect and measure the attenuation of small lesions ...
