Multidetector Computerized Tomography Urography is More Accurate Than Excretory Urography for Diagnosing Transitional Cell Carcinoma of the Upper Urinary Tract in Adults With Hematuria

Abstract

Multidetector computerized tomography urography is more sensitive, specific and accurate than excretory urography in the diagnosis of upper urinary tract transitional cell carcinoma in adult patients with hematuria. Therefore, multidetector computerized tomography urography rather than excretory urography should be the first choice noninvasive imaging modality for diagnosing upper urinary tract transitional cell carcinoma.
