Intravenous urography and imaging of the urinary tract.
This article briefly reviews the commonly used radiological investigations of the renal tract. The intravenous urogram (IVU) is a widely available imaging technique and one of the first-line investigations, yet is often poorly understood by junior medical teams. This article therefore discusses the IVU in detail, and reviews the common pathologies seen using this technique.
