title: Emergency imaging of the urinary tract.
abstract: Conventional radiography remains the mainstay of emergency imaging of the urinary tract; however, computed tomography in trauma and ultrasonography in medical conditions have greatly improved the accuracy and speed with which diagnoses can be made and treatment instituted. This article reviews the imaging modalities available to the emergency department physician and their application in the most common emergency situations.
