The role of CT in the management of adult urinary tract trauma.
Computed tomography (CT) is now the investigation of choice for evaluating haematuria following major abdominal trauma. This pictorial review provides a logical framework for understanding the classification and features of urinary tract injuries, defines the indications and outlines the techniques for CT imaging in upper and lower urinary tract trauma. The use of other competing imaging modalities is also discussed.
