“…Until 1896, visualization of the urinary tract included only the bladder and depended on cystoscopy, which was a fairly well-developed technique (2). Visualization of the ureters and installation of radiopaque substances documented with x-ray plates followed within a few years (3,4). Creation of a map of the upper collecting systems (pyelography) from below (so-called instrumental pyelography) was the early anatomic standard and was aided by cystoscopic bladder access (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8).…”

Retrograde pyelography followed these early efforts and was the prevailing urologic imaging technique; it jousted for a major role well into the middle of the 20th century, even after the introduction of excretory urography and intravenous pyelography (6).…”

“…Calyceal distortion patterns were described for renal tumors. Terms like pyeloscopy and uroscopy were coined to describe fluoroscopic and radiographic imaging of the filled urinary tract in a retrograde fashion (4,6,7). It is difficult to say, in retrospect, who was the first to radiographically depict a renal mass or how he or she depicted it.…”

A matter of months after Roentgen's landmark discovery in 1895, Roentgen's rays were focused on diseases and disorders of the urinary tract, specifically the kidney. At the dawn of the 20th century, urologists in the United States and around the world quickly recognized that by using a variety of metal stylets and radiopaque contrast agents, such as silver salts, the upper urinary tract, namely the ureter, pelvis, and calyces, could be depicted with radiography. Renal cysts and tumors were diagnosed on the basis of deformities in the kidney. Retrograde pyelography dominated the imaging evaluation of the kidney until the discovery of a safe intravenous method for urinary tract imaging (ie, intravenous pyelography). Pioneers and pathfinders in the field of contrast media development and radiologic procedures helped give radiologists the lead role in the work-up of renal masses, an area where urologists once held forth. The subspecialty of uroradiology was born in the middle of the 20th century. Intravenous urography, nephrotomography, and diagnostic angiography with pharmacologic manipulation followed by cyst or mass puncture and biopsy yielded unrivaled specificity for the diagnosis and staging of benign and malignant renal masses. The advent of cross-sectional and multiplanar imaging and the profound effects they had and continue to have on the discovery and characterization of renal masses has been detailed in the pages of Radiology since the 1920s. Ultrasonography, nuclear imaging, computed tomographic scanning, magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography each have made a claim to a part of the imaging algorithm of modern uroradiologic practice.

In 1904 Bransford LewisJ reported the use of his operative cystoscope (Fig. 58), adapted not only to use within the bladder but also in the ureters. The direct-vision air cystoscopes of Luys, § and of CathelinU were submitted in 1904 and 1905, and attracted considerable attention in France. * We cannot agree with Fenwick who decries the necessity for a direct-view instrument, saying that by proper manipulation it is possible to obtain a satisfactory view of the posterior wall through the right-angle view cystoscope.
