MR urography (MRU) of non-dilated ureter with diuretic administration: Static fluid 2D FSE T2-weighted versus 3D gadolinium T1-weighted GE excretory MR

Abstract: HighlightsT2w-MRU with multiple orientations and diuretic is sufficient to identify non-dilated ureter.T2w-MRU offers information on ureteral contractions and could be proposed to detect initial obstruction before hydronephrosis occurs (for instance in cases of endometriosis).T2w-MRU could also be used to evaluate potential renal donors or in patients unable to receive gadolinium.CE-MRU rapidly produces an overdistended bladder with a risk of false positive diagnosis of mild obstruction.CE-MRU is less convenie… Show more

“…Üriner sistem obstrüksiyonlarının tanısında çeşitli MR sekansları kullanılmaktadır (6). Bunlardan HASTE (half-fourieracquisationsingle-shot turbo spin-echo) ve RARE (rapidacquisitionwithrelaxationenhancement) sekanslarının hızlı görüntüleme yöntemleri olduğu ve durağan sıvıların incelenmesinde yüksek duyarlılık gösterdiği bildirilmiş-tir (7)(8)(9)(10). İntravenöz gadolinyum injeksiyonu yapılarak uygulanan T1A ekskretuar MRÜ ise hem dilate olmayan hem de orta derecede obstrükteürinertraktın değerlen-dirilmesinde son derece faydalı bilgiler vermektedir (11)(12)(13).…”

“…45 MRI has high spatial resolution, yielding a direct visualization of the sciatic nerve. 46 Although MRI has high sensitivity and specificity, 90 and 98%, respectively, for sciatic nerve involvement in extrapelvic endometriosis, 47 the sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing intrapelvic sciatic endometriosis remains unestablished. Nevertheless, MRI can be useful in differentiating sciatic endometriosis from a benign neurogenic tumor.…”

“…[24][25][26] Static-fluid and excretory MRU are the 2 techniques mainly performed. 10,[22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] Static-fluid MRU uses urine in the urinary tract as an intrinsic contrast medium and acquires T2-weighted (T2W) images with heavy T2W sequences such as singleshot fast spin echo, single-shot turbo spin echo, or half-Fourier rapid acquisition single-shot turbo spin echo without administration of contrast media. The long T2 relaxation time of the fluid provides high signal intensity of the urinary tract on static-fluid MRU.…”

“…The long T2 relaxation time of the fluid provides high signal intensity of the urinary tract on static-fluid MRU. Thin-slice 24,[29][30][31] or thick-slice 24,[28][29][30][31] urography images are obtained with the breath-hold technique or 3-D respiratory-triggered sequence 24,26,31 can be used to acquire thin-slice images with higher spatial resolution and to create MIP or volume-rendered images. Because static-fluid MRU allows for the visualization of urine in the urinary tracts, it does not depend on renal function and can be used for the evaluation of the urinary tracts in patients with renal dysfunction.…”
