Question 1

i had a cystoscopy, the doctor said everything is normal but we will have ct urogram, if everything is normal why the ct urogram should be done?

Accepted Answer

Evaluate other areas: Cystoscopy and cystoureteroscopy are very good at looking at the inside of the bladder, ureters and renal collecting systems.  Ct urogram looks there as well, but also evaluates the "outsides" (the parts that cannot be seen with a scope) of these structure and the other structures in the abdomen and pelvis.

Question 2

ct urogram showed "mild bilateral perinephric fat stranding, no suspicious solid renal mass, intrarenal calculi, caliectasis or hydronephrosis bilaterally. urologist recommends cystoscopy. is this a little too invasive at this moment ?. thank you?

Accepted Answer

: No, it is absolutely indicated because patient has obstructive uropathy and/or nephropathy. I strongly suspect kidney function is not normal or it will significantly deteriorate soon if obstruction is not relieved. Cystoscopy needs to be done ASAP.

The : The information you provided does not indicate any reason for you to be at a higher risk for bladder cancer. Some people have hematuria with no medical explanation. Make sure you follow up with your doctor as directed.
Take care.

Question 4

what are the differences between a ct and a ct urogram?

Accepted Answer

Ct urogram: A urogram uses contrast so flow out thu the urinary system.

Question 5

what is the chance of getting leukemia from multiphase ct urogram ?

Accepted Answer

: Leukemia or other cancers are never caused by a single diagnostic radiation exposure like CT scan. No worries at all.

Question 6

how do a plain ct of the kidneyand bladder, and a ct urogram differ?

Accepted Answer

Contrast: A plain ct looks for stones.  A ct urogram uses IV contrast (dye) to better evaluate the renal pelvis and ureter (the "tube" connecting your kidneys to your bladder).  These structures are not well seen without contrast.

Question 7

what is the definition or description of: ct urogram?

Accepted Answer

CT to look at kidney: Ct done to look at kidney to replace the test called an ivp....Ct urogram is a better test....

Question 8

would a ct urogram show a tumor inside bladder or a tumor that has invaded bladder wall?

Accepted Answer

: Yes , it would do both. Good Luck

Question 9

is peritoneal lymph nodes showing up on ct urogram a common finding?

Accepted Answer

Everyone has: lymph nodes in that region, so yes, it is common.  The question is whether they look abnormal/enlarged or not.  Did the report provide any more details on the lymph nodes?

Question 10

why doesnt a mri show deflux material from a prior vur and a ct urogram does? i thought mri's are more in depth?

Accepted Answer

Different tests: An MRI uses an atom's response to a strong magnetic field. A CT uses X-rays. The X-rays won't pass through the contrary, so it creates a shadow. No such effect occurs because of the magnetic field.
