Abstract
- Objective: To explore the diagnostic approaches and values of the imaging modalities for traumatic renal injuries.<br />Methods: The clinical records of 74 cases of renal trauma treated in Nanfang Hospital were retrospectively reviewed to assess the diagnostic value of intravenous urography (IVU), type B ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT).<br />Results: The positivity rates by IVU, type B ultrasonography, and CT were 89% (43/49), 80% (55/68) and 100% (51/51) respectively for the diagnosis of renal trauma.<br />Conclusion: IVU is rapid and convenient, ultrasonography less costly and invasive, and CT accurate for diagnosis of renal traumas.
