Purpose: To compare unenhanced helical computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) urography, by using T2-weighted and contrast material-enhanced T1-weighted imaging to examine patients with acute flank pain, with reference to excretory urography and final clinical diagnosis.
Materials And Methods: Forty-nine patients underwent CT, MR urography (with T2-weighted and gadopentetate dimeglumine-enhanced T1-weighted sequences), and excretory urography. CT and MR urographic findings were evaluated separately and independently by two radiologists each (CT, observers A and B; MR urography, observers C and D) for the presence, cause, level, and degree of obstruction.
