CTU examinations were performed with SB or TB protocols. The images were reviewed by 2 radiologists for assessment of arterial and venous renal pelvis enhancement and arteriovenous differentiation.

The proportion of high enhancement of arteries and veins was also significantly higher in the TB group (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001).
