title: Renal Imaging Following Blunt Trauma.
abstract: In brief: Athletic participation may result in blunt or penetrating trauma to the genitalia, perineum, pelvis, back, flank, or abdomen. Such acute trauma can induce urinary tract injury heralded by hematuria, but the possibility of such injury should be considered even in the absence of urinary tract symptoms. Selection of the most efficacious renal imaging method-computed tomography or intravenous pyelography-is essential in order to optimally manage athletes with urinary tract trauma.
