Furosemide, 1\u2009mg\/kg, was injected 3\u2009min before contrast material administration and followed by a bolus of 30\u2009ml of physiologic saline solution immediately after application of contrast material. Excretory\u2010phase images were obtained through the abdomen and pelvis beginning 10\u2009min after initiation of the injection of contrast material. Maximum intensity projection (MIP) and volume rendering (VR) images were post\u2010processed to obtain urographic views.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results: MSCTU revealed pathology in 16 of 19 patients, while 3 patients had normal findings. Ureteropelvic obstruction was found in 4 patients, obstructive megaureter in 8. Both ureteropelvic obstruction and obstructive megaureter were disclosed in 1 patient, partial ureteral duplication in 1 patient, and both complete ureteral duplication and ureterocele in 2 patients. In all patients, MIP and VR images could satisfactorily show the pathologies of the urinary tract. The estimated effective average doses of MSCTU were higher than IVU.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusion: Preliminary results of furosemide\u2010enhanced MSCTU demonstrated consistently dilated urinary tracts, obstruction levels, and underlying pathologies better than US and IVU.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1080\/02841850310002961","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,4,30]],"date-time":"2004-04-30T01:01:58Z","timestamp":1083286918000},"page":"95-101","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Multi\u2010slice computed tomography urography after diuretic injection in children with urinary tract dilatation"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"45","author":[{"given":"P.","family":"Ko\u015fucu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Pediatric Surgery, Anesthesiology, Medical School of Karadeniz Technical University, Farabi Hospital, Trabzon, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Ahmeto\u011flu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Pediatric Surgery, Anesthesiology, Medical School of Karadeniz Technical University, Farabi Hospital, Trabzon, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"\u0130mamo\u011flu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Pediatric Surgery, Anesthesiology, Medical School of Karadeniz Technical University, Farabi Hospital, Trabzon, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"\u00c7ay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Pediatric Surgery, Anesthesiology, Medical School of Karadeniz Technical University, Farabi Hospital, Trabzon, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"O.","family":"\u00d6zdemir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Pediatric Surgery, Anesthesiology, Medical School of Karadeniz Technical University, Farabi Hospital, Trabzon, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"H.","family":"Din\u00c7","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Pediatric Surgery, Anesthesiology, Medical School of Karadeniz Technical University, Farabi Hospital, Trabzon, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Ko\u015fucu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Pediatric Surgery, Anesthesiology, Medical School of Karadeniz Technical University, Farabi Hospital, Trabzon, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Sari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Pediatric Surgery, Anesthesiology, Medical School of Karadeniz Technical University, Farabi Hospital, Trabzon, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"H.","family":"Saruhan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Pediatric Surgery, Anesthesiology, Medical School of Karadeniz Technical University, Farabi Hospital, Trabzon, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"H.
