Lower-dose CT urography (CTU) with iterative reconstruction technique in children : initial experience and examination protocol [PDF]
Background: Conventional X-ray urography is one of the basic imaging techniques in urinary tract diseases in children. CT urography (CTU) employing standard Filtered Back Projection (FBP) reconstruction algorithms is connected with higher radiation dose.

Radiographic and tomographic findings of excretory urography of avian kidneys after induced nephropathy in broiler chicken as a model. [PDF]
Intraosseous excretory urography (IOEU) is a safe contrast imaging modality, and the use of radiography or CT scan is a useful method in the assessment of the urinary system in chickens. Abstract Background Although kidney diseases have a high prevalence, initial recognition and diagnosis of renal disease are complicated in avian medicine.

Precision in kidney-sparing surgery: Robot-assisted ureterectomy with novel Black Eye™ Ink. [PDF]
Abstract Objective To investigate the feasibility, oncological efficacy and safety of robotic segmental ureterectomy (SU) for treating patients with localised upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). A key aspect of this research involves utilising Black Eye™ Endoscopic Marker Ink to delineate the boundary of the tumour in the ureter, helping to ensure

Urography in Myelomatosis [PDF]
To investigate whether urographic contrast media might precipitate Bence Jones protein in the renal tubules and lead to renal failure in patients with myelomatosis, the reaction between the media and myeloma urine was studied in vitro. Appreciable precipitation was found only in urine at or below pH 4.5, and its occurrence did not correlate with the ...

Combined laparoscopic pyelolithotomy and endoscopic pyelolithotripsy for staghorn calculi. Long-term follow-up results from a case series [PDF]
Purpose: Staghorn renal stones are a challenging field in urology. Due to their high recurrence rates, particularly those associated with an infective process, a complete removal is the ultimate goal in their management.

Endoscopic laser-ablation for the treatment of orthotopic and ectopic ureteroceles in dogs: 13 cases (2008-2017). [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Ureteroceles are a rare condition in dogs in which conventional treatments can result in substantial morbidity. Cystoscopic and fluoroscopic-guided laser ablation (CLA) of ureteroceles can successfully relieve obstruction.
