title: Computerized tomography in diagnosis of bladder rupture.
abstract: Patients with significant pelvic fractures and hematuria must be carefully evaluated for concomitant urinary tract injuries. Computerized tomography may be a useful adjunct to retrograde cystography for diagnosing bladder rupture in those patients with either equivocal or unexpectedly negative findings on cystograms.
