A member asked:
How do a plain ct of the kidneyand bladder, and a ct urogram differ?
A doctor has provided 1 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.
