RADIOLOGY OF UROLOGICAL COMPLICATIONS AFTER TREATMENT OF PELVIC TUMORS. PART II. URINARY LEAKS AND URETERAL INJURIES

Abstract

Urinary leaks and ureteral injuries under treatment of pelvic tumors are the difficult and unsettled clinical diagnostic problem. For their radiodiagnostics using different imaging techniques, primarily computed tomography. About application magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is less well knows. The possibilities MRI to diagnostic of urinary leaks and ureteral injuries and ureterostegnosis are illustrated in the article; we discuss the limitation of method requiring additional use of other radiological methods. A literature search on the topic of research was carried out on the databases PubMed and eLIBRARY.
