The utility of retrograde pyelography to follow up incompletely opacified ureters on CT urography.

Purpose: Retrograde pyelography (RPG) is used in some centers to further evaluate patients with incompletely opacified segments on CT urography (CTU). This study intends to evaluate the utility of this imaging combination in terms of the yield of abnormal findings on the follow up RPG.
