Abstract

Excretory urography (EU) had been the most frequently performed imaging modality for uroradiology in the past. With the advances in ultrasonography, and development of cross-sectional urography with CT and MRI, EU is now seldom performed. Consequently, there has been a decline of expertise in this technique. However, EU has multiple advantages such as dynamic nature, easy availability, low cost and radiation burden. These render it potentially very valuable in specific indications like congenital anomalies, urothelial lesions and urinary leaks. This review intends to emphasize the current day relevance of excretory urography, outline the key points of the technique, and describe the pearls and pitfalls of interpretation.
