Overview

What causes errors in urologic diagnostic imaging? The author of this study attempts to root out the problems of faulty technique, inadequate interpretation and inadequate or inappropriate clinical information. The book takes into account the imaging modalities presently used for examining the urinary tract: excretory urography, ultra-sonography, computer tomography and angiography. The author gives examples of anatomical variations, developmental anomalies and benign conditions that simulate neoplasias and lead to mistakes. Knowing these pitfalls will help every radiologist sidestep errors on the road to correct interpretation in diagnostic radiology.
