In the conclusion of this introductory series, we discuss the basics of computed tomography (CT) urography, bladder and urethral diverticula, and scrotal pathology including varicocele, epididymo-orchitis, and testicular neoplasm.
Topics include:
* CT urography post-processing techniques: maximum intensity projection (MIP) and 3D volume-rendered (VR) imaging.
* Appearance of transitional cell carcinoma in the ureters and bladder on excretory phase CT mages.
* Papillary necrosis.
* Weigert-Meyer rule for duplicated collecting systems and tips to remember it.
* Urethral diverticula appearance on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and voiding cystourography (VCUG).
* Scrotal varicocele and the importance of recognizing the implications of right-sided versus left-sided.
* Acute scrotal pathology: testicular torsion and epididymo-orchitis.
* Differentiating seminomatous and non-seminomatous testicular neoplasms via ultrasound.
