A CT urogram uses X-rays to generate multiple images of a slice of the area in your body being studied, including bones, soft tissues and blood vessels. These images are then sent to a computer and quickly reconstructed into detailed 2D images.
What can a CT urogram detect?
A CT urogram examines the upper urinary tract (kidneys and ureters) in detail. This test is good at finding tumors of the kidney, renal pelvis, and ureter, as well as other urologic abnormalities. It may identify kidney stones and hydronephrosis (swelling of the kidney that is often due to downstream blockage).
How long does a CT urogram take?
A CT Urogram will take approximately 5-10 minutes. However, you may need to allow extra time for each procedure in case of delays or the occasional need for additional images.
