Roentgenologic aspects of haematuria.
In the roentgenologic investigation of haematuria, urography is the main diagnostic tool, other examinations being only of supplementary value. The main importance of other roentgen examinations is the possibility of excluding certain types of suspected disease as the cause of haematuria, and to demonstrate certain vascular malformations in the kidneys with renal angiography. Urography and cystoscopy should be performed in all patients with haematuria, and the possibility of pathologic conditions in both upper and lower urinary tract must be kept in mind. A large number of overlooked calculi and the finding of unsuspected malignant renal tumors in cases where the urography was performed on an emergency basis, underlines the important fact that "emergency"  in these cases only indicates that the patient is an acute distress, not that the examination should be hasty and incomplete, or if so, should be supplemented by a repeat examination under normal conditions.
